Haiku of new beginnings
To forgive or not?
That, friend, is the conundrum:
Do you deserve it?
You say you’re sorry,
but the question remains: Will
you do it again?
Seventy seven?
Should I forgive that often?
He must be joking!
Another story,
of a man forgiven much,
who couldn’t forgive.
It is at the core
of Jesus’ teachings: Forgive,
as God forgives you.
Without forgiveness
there is only bitterness,
violence and death.
It’s that important,
forgiveness opens the way
to new beginnings.
