Forgiveness
Blessings can come in all shapes and sizes,
But I think God also likes to send them in disguises,
That what looks like a hurricane
And is overflowing with pain
Can actually be a rainbow,
Something you needed to go
Through. Yeah, it can be scary at first.
The beginning stages are always the worst.
Like going through a divorce.
That word was the source
Of a lot of pain and fear
And caused many tears.
I guess the best words to share
About what it was like are: living nightmare.
The stabbing words and fights were hard to bear.
The worst part was knowing about the affair.
That was the darkest part of the storm I was in,
But the healing would eventually begin.
I did get better, and my healing was almost complete,
But I felt I was missing out on something sweet.
It’s called forgiveness and it happened last night.
It dissolved the burden and created light.
My forgiveness looked something like this:
Text to Dad-
“I’m at a Christian concert right now. I’m ready. I forgive you for everything that happened with the divorce.”
Looking back now, I can easily see
In more ways than one the divorce was a blessing.
Things are better now than they were then,
And if I had to, I’d do it all again.
