LINES OF THOUGHT © 2015

The salvation for the world?

Forgiveness!

It is what heals the deep,

And soothes each heart's leap.

In forgiveness, there lies the lost key,

That opens doors to reconciliation,

It is the balm that restores life’s decree,

And renews the spirit with compassion's sensation.

It is not in vengeance or rage,

That the world will find its peace,

But in forgiveness that inspires on every page,

And teaches us love that will never cease.

If we wish to save the world, at last,

Forgiveness is the beginning and the end, steadfast.
