Forgiveness

Oh gosh, the internet connection today is driving me insane! I thought i have already accustomed myself with the pms connections with patience, but it's really treading on hot rocks today. Grr!

Nvm, on to the main purpose i'm here. :)

I was sifting through all my written materials today and found a speech i wrote in 2004 about Forgiveness. In it was a poem i nicked from Chicken Soup for the Soul, the book that really helps people get through emotional patches. Really, if you feel like crap that day, there are many other stories in there that is far worst than yours. Makes you feel less like a loser. Haha.

Okok, i'm digressing.

Anyway, this poem remains one of my most favourite poems till today because its message and meanings hit right home. No matter how old you are, what stage of life you are in, you can still identify with its meanings. It can be deep, it can just touch the surface, either way, it HITS i tell you! Lol.

(I edited it a little from the original ;p)

Forgive the sun who didn't shine
The sky has asked her in to dine
Forgive the rain for its attack
The clouds have tears they can't hold back
Don't hate the birds for they are free
Don't envy all the things they see
Don't block the wind, but hear its cry
Or else, that wind may pass you by
Life intends to not cause pain
The flowers bloom from all the rain
The storm will come and it will die
The stars at night lights up the sky
Forgive the world in which we live
We'll all find peace, when, we forgive
