I Forgive You

“i forgive you”

By Vi Hoang

Forgiveness is accepting

Not just an “it is okay”,

But also “That's okay”.

Letting go of anger 

And grudges.

Like dropping stones into a river.

As the stones flow and dissolve

Into something that is nothing. 

Acceptance is hope. 

Hope, a gift handed to only patience.

A desire, an expectation, a small candle’s 

Light. 

A flame that could light up every corner of a room, 

But could set the whole building to a 

Flame. 

Forgiveness is a journey, 

A search for hope,

A glimpse of light. 

Forgiveness isn't to be cut out of cardboard, 

but to be drawn and 

mapped by the inch. 

Forgiveness is a gift.

Wrapped in words that hold you dear. 

“I forgive you.”
