Deep Emotions

Forgiven

The feeling that comes from three simple words

and which comes after words and actions that cut like swords-

You feel like what you did has been wiped away

and that your debt is lifted and the stones in your path are cleared out of the way-

Your heart is mended, no longer crushed by guilt

and the relationship broken has been rebuilt-

Upon solid stone you now stand

and before you were standing on shifting sand-

When you hear the words, 'I forgive you,'

your life becomes brighter and you no longer feel blue-
