Forgive Poem by Peter Egba

Forgive

Forgive
Don't feel deceived
When you're told to forgive.

Forgive
Even when you're the one who receives
The pain from his folded sleeve.

Forgive
Not because you're relieved
Of the wounds you still grieve.

Forgive
Because it's the way to live,
Longer than the fleeting leaf.
