I was walking down the dirt path with Unforgiveness,
all the while, it felt like a dreadful illness.
Then Inspiration struck like lightning,
oh, how alarming and frightening!
Inspiration had dropped Forgiveness from the sky,
not yet quite understanding why.
Forgiveness dropkicked Unforgiveness down a cliff,
and the birds began to sing a joyous-chorus riff.
Now, walking with Forgiveness, my legs are getting tired,
but he picks me up, because otherwise, I would have expired.
We make it home and Forgiveness stays at the door,
wanting him to come in, but he doesn't, no matter how much I implore.
"You've got this," he says and starts to walk away,
oh, how I truly wish he would, forever, stay!
But, I wave him farewell and sit down at the table inside,
not feeling easy, or very satisfied.
Blinking, I see the table is set with a full spread,
grabbing the warm, home-made, buttered bread,
to my right is Redemption smiling proudly,
all the while merry bells in my mind rang quite loudly.
