Forgiveness

A poem dedicated to a dear friend

Thru happiness and sorrow

I am ever so grateful

With each breath of tomorrow

Heals my sorrow

Slowly but surely

I am finding true reason

To love and forgive

With each fall season

I never said I was sorry

Time would not wait

Who can I blame

It's an automatic trait

Unfair as it may be

I've learned not to hate

For years I blamed you

Damning your fate

My anger over you

Always in my thoughts

I hated me too

I thought I was at fault

For tonight I understand

Depression and its fame

A love that didn't withstand

Is what I will blame

Regret will live with me

Not one call did you make

If you could only see

My heart break

Leaving everything behind

Your own life you took

Second thoughts never found

Not even a second look

A cold marble stone

bathed in the morning dew

I know you are alone

I whisper a prayer for you

God I love and miss her

I pray her soul to take

Have mercy on her

Love and give her faith
