Dear Forgiveness,

You are one of the most difficult friends I have ever known. 
Many steps have to be taken, until I can reach your throne.
At times, I think I have succeeded, but only to discover
I hadn't let go of anger from which I first have to recover.

Without you, all those dreadful feelings will stay the same.
Nothing will cure sore wounds if I still complain and blame.
Through experience, I know you will need patience and time.
I have to be careful not to miss steps, while the ladder I climb.
With you it's all or nothing, you never accept any in-between.
My heart and soul have to be ready, healed, white and clean.

Finally, when I reach you I feel softer, as I learn to let go.
What a relief, oh how I wish I had forgiven long time ago.
I feel I'm reborn and at last released I fly free out of my cage.
There's an empty spot in my heart where I hid anger and rage,
now ready to be filled with blessings I have started to gain.
Forgiveness, please stay, so that my life with love you may reign.

                                                                                            Sincerely yours
                                                                                   Pupa
