Forgiveness is Expensive

People don’t run out of love,

People run out of forgiveness.

– L. Duncan

If forgiveness is costly

Pay it to be free,

To free your conscience

From bondage of bitterness

To laugh and smile with your heart clean

And look into the world’s eyes with maturity,

***

If forgiveness is costly

Pay it to be free,

To help heal the world’s hatred

And to see the good in people.

***
