PoeMS ABOUT FORGIVENESS
1. Finding Peace - Jadine Lydia
i would like to think
that i can forgive and forget
but when i try to forgive
the weight of you
c r u s h e s
my barely beating heart.
and when i try to forget
golden memories
cling and clasp,
breathing light
into my lungs,
before the
oh so good moments,
became oh so bad moments;
shattering light into darkness
and love into heartlessness,
fracturing my perspective
and everything i believed.
and so, i shelter
somewhere
between forgiving
and forgetting;
hurting and wrestling,
purging the pain
and blessings,
until peace finds me.
original poem by – Jadine Lydia
2. Just Make People Feel better When you Can - Christoper Kerby
3. Tender Heart Opening - Jadine Lydia
i keep my heart open
even when it hurts.
i keep my heart open
even when it feels like too much.
i keep my heart open,
to let forgiveness flood.
i keep my heart open
and let there be love.
