(too soon we die!)

Fair Trade Forgiveness

To be human requires a lot of forgiving
Of oneself and others for meaningful living

I forgive others yet in cruel irony
The hardest person of all to forgive is me

But I can forgive you no matter what you do
Yet who is the hardest for you to forgive? You!

Since we are both human as sister to brother
What if we (in a fair trade) forgave each other?

By this fundamental act of humanity
We would make peace with being human and be free

You forgive me I forgive you then we would try
To live all we can while we can (too soon we die!)
