Hi Leroy..
\nWith so much insidious hatred being spread around…here is a little poem to share with you to perhaps balance with love instead…<\/p>\n

FORGIVE….<\/p>\n

Forgive, some know not what they do<\/p>\n

Forgive, some know exactly what they do<\/p>\n

But either way perhaps we might just see<\/p>\n

That they are in desperate need for kind reprieve<\/p>\n

If God can offer such a supreme sacrifice of love<\/p>\n

Can we not offer too the peace of a dove<\/p>\n

If we cannot but turn the other cheek<\/p>\n

Or be the first to give others the final speak<\/p>\n

Especially when they are aching to fight<\/p>\n

Can we not be the one to show them our Light<\/p>\n

Perhaps theirs have been beatened, its flicker now quite dim<\/p>\n

From so many hurts or tears of pain inflicted from anothers whim<\/p>\n

Can we not be the one to stretch out first our hand<\/p>\n

Take a purposeful step of peace towards where they stand<\/p>\n

Or give them a more compassionate understanding<\/p>\n

From our hearts eyes that sees beyond their gang branding<\/p>\n

For in each instant we avert a hatred with our love<\/p>\n

We may be just what their soul was aching for sent from above<\/p>\n

And isnt true that what we see in our brothers<\/p>\n

Is perhaps our own reflection as we are really One with all Others<\/p>\n

So let us strive to Forgive…<\/p>\n

Some may know or not what they do<\/p>\n

But you have a choice in what you choose too.<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading. Am so Grateful for You and the Love that you are and share, always.<\/p>\n

Hugs, gisl<\/p>\n
