Forgiveness
Life is like the Earth
Always changing
Growth, rebirth
Movement, rearranging.
People are like seasons
Some seem to linger, to last
But for whatever reason
Others quickly become past.
This reality can bring pain
Like when my big brother left
He made my sky turn to rain
My sunshine had been theft.
For years boiling anger I held
I couldn't understand
Attention was withheld
Why wouldn't he hold my hand?
It's been years
I'm no longer a child
Despite all the tears
I want to be reconciled.
I can see it all now
How he chooses to live
Only for myself I vow
That I will forgive.
