Sweet Forgivenes
Oh forgiveness, how sweet thou sound
In the wonderful mouth of the preacher, the outsider,the bystander or the not involved

Sweet Forgivenes
Oh forgiveness, how sweet thou sound
In the wonderful mouth of the preacher, the outsider,the bystander or the not involved
But gallopy in the bumpy feelings of the miserable offended
*****
Your healing power like a lubricant
delete friction and dismantle roadblocks
Delivers the miserable offender and the offended
Oils the emotions and soothe the body
For a wonderful psychosomatic healing
*****
But what a dilemma with the human players
With arrogant, reluctant move say to-please-conscience, forgive me
And a false smile with defiant heart pretend to forgive you
Oh the only way forward with God and man
Yield, submit, sell pride, buy humility and forgive all

From your form I gather that forgiveness can also be fraught with danger. Beware forgiveness with strings attached.

I can forgive, but it's much harder to forget. You know, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
