To forget a whole lifetime of lies and betrayal
To give another chance for a soul to be saved
To accept an apology from a strayed wanderer
This is to have forgave.
To fight back the tears just to have them fall
To not feel alright even though you’ve tried
To sob until there seems no end to the pain
This is to have cried.
To chuckle at a joke on the morning news
To spend time with a friend from way back
To be tickled until you start to cry
This is to have laughed.
To want to hold them forever, just you and them
To want to give them the moon and the stars above
To cherish their presence and tell them so
This is to have loved.
To have forgiven all those who made you cry
To have laughed and loved with all you can give
To have felt purpose for the coming days...
THIS is to have lived.
