Forgiveness

The Heat on my shoulders, I feel

The sweat on my brow

As I face the day’s trial

All I can say is how

How did I get through that day?

That has now drifted away

How did I get through it?

I will tell

Wet and muddy I feel as I plow through a slough

I swim to a tree, no ordinary tree

A tree that gave life through one touch,

It filled me with glee

When I found that tree a burden flew from me.

Feeling what I once felt, was no longer there

A weight lifted off my shoulders

And I knew I was forgiven.

Forgiveness shows many forms

One which all does see

And one that hides its face in the dark

Waiting to be let out

But be encouraged for if you go to that tree

You will be forgiven.

All you have to do is ask.

And the fruits will show themselves.
