I was on the other end of this once. There was a woman who had done me wrong, and I wasn't even aware of what had happened. Years later, when I found out about the incident, I actually spoke with her. She confessed, and I frankly forgave her. It was amazing. The whole conversation was over the phone - 2,000 miles separated us, but I could feel the sincerity in her voice. I could see that this had troubled her for years. The experience not only impressed upon me the joy she must have felt as she was able to say "sorry," but it also let me feel the healing nature of forgiving another. I didn't need to suffer from the hurt caused by others - if I simply forgive. Beautiful poem. Thanks for sharing. :) Beautiful poem. I was on the other end of this once.
