Forgiveness

Why is it so hard?

Hard to forgive

Harbored up feelings

Makes a heart stone cold

That robs one of happiness

And steals their joy.

Some would rather die than forgive

Becoming numb to legitimate feelings

Some hearts are waxed over with cold

They relish anger over happiness

Some unknowingly despise joy

Because forgiving to them is hard.

In the belly are balled up feelings

All tied in a knot that’s cold

Preventing moments of happiness

And blocking rays of joy

It can be easy but we make hard

Intent on being mad and not willing to forgive.

In a lonely world filled with cold

Can’t find true happiness

No signs of joy

Makes life really hard

But still mad not ready to forgive

Because of offended feelings.

God promised peace along with Joy

But void of Him obtaining can be hard

If we can only just forgive

those emotions of true feelings

Would melt away the cold

Releasing the flood gate of happiness.

Life can be easy sometimes we make it hard

When we harbor anger and refuse to forgive

It causes a bottleneck of feelings

The heart become cold

A blockage for happiness

Therefore we have no joy.

Joy and happiness can be obtained

by releasing cold hard feeling

through forgiveness.
