They say forgiveness is a virtue

But I would rather keep my anger

Even though it will put my heart

In a constant state of mortal danger

For to keep the anger going

Gives the body toxins by the score

And I do not really want to see

My helpless body lying on the floor

So maybe the virtue called forgiveness

Should be my gift to others and to me

Maybe graciousness and forgiveness

Will be be my new virtues that all will see
