All those who have wronged me
All those who have wronged me
or i feel have wronged me
I forgive them all
I release my hold on what they did
or i think they did
for all who I have hurt
wounded
made angry
or annoyed
I ask for forgiveness
but will love
even
if it does not come forth
I release every vestige of bitterness
and try to let go of jealousies
knowing Grace
gives what it gives
it is not mine to own
or is any being mine
but that i might share
i might love
i might touch
and god nows
I can not even hold onto that.
Hope is meaningless here
what remains remains
and
what falls apart
is a lesson
a seed
for joy and enriches me.
Nothing on this earth is mine
forever
but only for a time
so I will let
go of this feather of existence
Grace is my teacher
and my substance.
All is a gift.
I celebrate being alive.
