Forgiveness antidotes revenge.

Anger comes from provocation;

It can go out of proportion

Unlike the bounce that a ball gives,

Limited to its throw and the wall.

Anger settles with revenge,

Which may go out of proportion.

It invites retaliation,

Which might go out of proportion.

   

Forgiveness antidotes revenge,

And mends the relationships,

With bitterness being erased

And the pain of revenge removed.

Forgiveness be voluntary.

The capacity of love lies

In its ability to forgive.

Act like mother, the best forgiver.

‘Forgive me as I forgave others.’,

Appealed to Lord, Jesus Christ.

To put forth similar appeal,

You must have forgiven others.

In forgiving you’re forgiven.

You must forgive to cross the bridge

So as to be forgiven of sins.

Done, you’ve done the hardest task.

,

‘Forgiveness is the fragrance

That a sweet smelling flower

Like a rose or violet leaves

On the heel that has just crushed it.’
