Forgiveness

by: A Christian Friend of Greg

Written in loving memory of Jonathan Boudonck and his grandpa whom struggles with his grief while searching for justice in a world that keeps moving forward when it stopped for his family the day his grandson died. May we all remember that someday we could stand in his shoes.

So the wicked walk

Upon the beauty of our lives

Hiding twisted faces

And bearing sharpened knives

They slice through our beliefs

And cause our hearts to bleed

Leaving mass destruction

Upon our humanity

When the battle has been fought

Who is left to stand

The wicked walking terror

Or the bleeding broken man

Soulless from the start

They had nothing left to lose

For the man who had his faith

There was far more to choose

A choice of redemption

Not for the soulless beast

But for his own soul

Before he was deceased

Searching for the answer

To a most horrendous choice

Will bring him to a painful point

And make him find his voice

He will have to shout the pain

Speak of the loss and violence

Seek the endless darkness

Until it finally ends

No one will ever understand

The tragedy of this fight

It isn’t about the man

It’s about what is right

The evil it is winning

By leaps and by bounds

Because a man fights with his faith

When forgiveness can’t be found

It weakens his resolve

To rise above himself

To be the best God has to offer

When in his deepest crap

And when man rises up

From his fiery depths

God will hold him like a child

Until he has finally wept

Tears will wash away the darkness

And will help to cleanse his soul

So that he might free his spirit

And once again be whole

He then will stand up tall and proud

He will seek what should be his

Justice for the wrong done him

For all that he will miss

He did not need to seek

Vengeance or revenge

Those are empty promises

For hearts that cannot mend

He found that in his darkness hour

When forgiveness was to much

That the wicked walking terrors

Did not have them in their clutch

Faith had won out over loss

Love had beat the hate

Finally man remembered God

Gave him choice in his own fate
