Forgiveness

by

Daniel Chapa

Forgiveness my only power
Left lingering to give
Ancient sins long past
Remind us of lives we lived

Hear her words circling
Round my bed so clear
She reminds me of myself
Exposing enduring fears

Tell me of the men
They loved you long past
Tell me where you’ve lain
Holding another man fast

My resent builds up
My envy may be shown
Aware you were no angel
Those secrets are best unknown

I control my worthless thoughts
Swallow my useless pride
Jealousy is the emotion
We all struggle to hide

I turn upon myself
Examine my own affairs
Selfishly sharing myself
Many years without cares

There is no room to point
My past is soiled too
Our history is our history
We’ve forgiven through and through

My future contains love
Ignoring the sins prior
Agreeing to step forward
As coveting will soon expire
