Forgiveness is the path that led me to blessing,
Foolishness chases the wind – grasping at nothing,
Achieving is all about selfish gains of no real value,
The root of all pain is when I come first,
God is made a small part of my life,
The call of Eternity forgotten,
Replaced by today’s worries.
Restoration is found when just anger is felt,
But, it is restrained by restoring love,
Justice delayed for one more opportunity,
To live again with a holy abandonment,
Leaving all that seeks to despise what is lovely,
When hate seeks out kindness,
And, pays it with shattered trust,
For the self deceived who leave behind loyalty,
Lost blessing will come in due time.
Stopping to listen is the secret to hope,
Peace comes from listening to Eternity’s call,
Eternity’s smile warms my heart,
Beginning from a beautiful act of kindness,
Showing me loyalty in the midst of easy betrayals,
Shouting out the truth of where I belong,
My pilgrim’s rocky path sheltered by trust,
Kissed by the lips of lovingkindness,
Creativity is fully appreciated for its true worth,
Beauty forgotten receives its eternal reward.
