For the one who forgives, finds strength untold, In choosing kindness, a heart unfolds, And as forgiveness spreads its wings, A symphony of healing it sings.

Forgiveness isn't an easy art, It calls for courage to play its part, To release the anger and grudges long held, And in its place, compassion is compelled.

With forgiveness, we find release, A soothing balm that grants us peace, For in its grace, we learn to let go, Embracing healing's gentle flow.

In forgiveness, bridges are built anew, Spanning divides where hurt once grew, It mends the bond, heals the divide, Bringing solace to both sides.

Like a river's flow, forgiveness cascades, Washing away resentment's dark shades, It breaks the chains that bind the heart, Granting liberation, a brand-new start.

Forgiveness, an art, both gentle and strong, A melody that mends what went wrong, It softens the edges of a wounded soul, And mends the fragments that once took their toll.

Every end as a beginning, and yet not every beginning, has an end…

If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.
—J.R.R Tolkien
