Forgiveness is not a door454Please respect copyright.PENANAggRtf8qIgk
we can knock on until it opens.454Please respect copyright.PENANAe4LHYg4zwC
It is a seed that belongs454Please respect copyright.PENANAMf0MBIJMGX
only to the soil of the hurt one’s heart,454Please respect copyright.PENANATGL8Zp92sO
and sometimes the ground stays barren.
To wound is to scatter glass across a road.454Please respect copyright.PENANAZSDNFJP9kd
We do not decide whether another454Please respect copyright.PENANAMddXWm3TZo
will sweep it clear,454Please respect copyright.PENANAWMsaVoVkA2
or let our memory bleed their footsteps.
But there is something deeper454Please respect copyright.PENANA4rPIFLtrDY
than absolution:454Please respect copyright.PENANAs87XcL7KAq
the courage to carry our own debris.454Please respect copyright.PENANAc3nJVhJbbp
To mend with hands still scarred,454Please respect copyright.PENANAgXxghQzIxM
to build not because we are pardoned,454Please respect copyright.PENANA7l6MlgoVpk
but because the world454Please respect copyright.PENANAnpQpYER94C
still deserves gentleness.
Some wounds will close454Please respect copyright.PENANA9OFUfATy3i
like dusk folding over a quiet field.454Please respect copyright.PENANARcyVTfZ2A2
Some will stay raw,454Please respect copyright.PENANA0EsbBlOWuZ
like salt pressed into the sea.454Please respect copyright.PENANAaAFjGbASs0
We cannot control which.
What we can choose454Please respect copyright.PENANA4uo38WMSQm
is to live as if tomorrow matters,454Please respect copyright.PENANABEGkdzUebb
to make our weight into something454Please respect copyright.PENANAbqEqe930q5
that steadies instead of breaks.
Forgiveness may never come.454Please respect copyright.PENANAQvHHyq9sip
But responsibility—454Please respect copyright.PENANAl5uYCWWuRX
quiet, unglamorous, enduring—454Please respect copyright.PENANAL4wPUUc9iH
can still turn us toward the light
