let’s talk about forgiveness

I’m sorry, ma’am, but I didn’t know we were here to be human.

Oh, wait! Did I say something wrong?

Let’s talk about forgiveness

I knew a boy, maybe he was 5

who forgave his dog for biting him

He didn’t want his mom to get rid of her!

“She didn’t mean it!” he kept saying

He taught me about forgiveness

I knew a girl

who, at 14 years old

was sent away to live alone

Is that even legal?

To this day they are best friends

The then 14-year-old

and the one who sent her away

Let’s talk about forgiveness

I knew a woman

who stood in court

to defend the man

that murdered her daughter

Let me talk to you about forgiveness
