Sweet Forgiveness

by Maria Lisa Polegatto

As Hansel and Gretel walked down the path of life
They grew wiser as a result of those around them
Once trusted friends, now frenemies in life
Once fooled, now twice as much on alert
The light bulb illuminated becomes brighter
The truth always shines brighter than deception
As the sweetness of deception draws closer
The sweetness of intuition grows stronger
Trust your inner knowing
Let it lead you until the rest of the truth come to light
Stand tall, be confident, continue on your path
Retaliation and revenge have no place
As they will land you in the gutter
That's not where life is leading you
Take the higher road less travelled
Listen to the sweet promises of others
But know that actions speak louder than words
Forgiveness is a virtue
Your place is not to judge, it is to be judged
Something we do to ourselves all too harshly
Let Him do with them as He wishes
For it is His place to judge us
Go about your path gracefully and truthfully
Let the light guide you
For He is walking with you
All the days of your life
Look around for the miracles of life
His presence is everywhere
Have faith in His love within you
Instead of standing in your ego
Share the love you share with Him with others.
