Inspirational Poem

Joy Of Restoration Through Forgiveness

I was in the 8th grade when I found that I love writing poetry. After writing "A Broken Family Tree" and "Healing A Broken Family Tree", I realized that I am always trying to express the value of forgiveness and healing broken relationships. Division never feels right to me. Like water finding the easiest path to flow, my heart flows best on paths of restoration.

The Vision

Was it a vision
Or a wonderful dream
I was walking through an autumn forest
Lush with gold falling leaves

The air was crisp
And my heart was free
Every burden fell away
I was gently floating through the trees

My heart began to soar
As the earth released my feet
I stretched out my hands
Embracing my enemies

Inviting them to fly
They joined in one by one
Becoming a shimmer of mist 
Reflecting rainbows in the sun

No longer bound
Love lifted us higher
Soaring hand in hand
Blending flames in a fire

Each of our stories
Chapter and verse
Becoming one single page
In this glorious universe

Our souls carried along
With grace from above
We'll rest on these shores
Covered in mercy and love
