Forgive Me and Us All

Folder: 
Forgiving

She had always been honored when entrusted to the

secrets of another's heart.

As time went on, she wanted no word, opinion, or

deed of hers to keep away any rich or gay woman,

any homeless boy or soldier.

She could no longer stand to hurt hearts,

to see startled upset eyes react to her strong

opinions or thoughtless remarks.

She aspired to be like the ocean,

receiving all rivers. She wanted no heart to be

afraid to approach the door of her own.



PLACE SETTING



His mother

came to the table

.. no place setting for her..

this was the way he told

her he was angry..

but in time he was able

to forgive.
