They were in court, one with orange clothes, and one in a black suit. It was the man in the suits turn to stand and state his case.
“Mr. Smith, you may speak,” the judge announced. He stood up from his seat and observed the room. He took a deep breath and began his sentence.
“You have murdered my son, with no mercy whatsoever. Most people would give you no mercy in return,” he sealed his ...
I thought with his death
that forgiveness would come

all the things he had done.
I thought with his silence
that I’d find peace at last
that I could somehow move on
and leave the past in the past.
I thought with him gone
that I could forget all he said
that I could block his voice
from clouding my head.
But I sit here today

An act of love,
Love for yourself,

A path to forgiveness, hiding deep within
Guilt can pull tears from the eye of a living soldier,
Forgiveness after sorry, can, in shards, bring closure
