This poem about forgiveness came to me, as so many poems do, while sitting in church.
A hardened heart

Cannot forgive

And nothing can get through

A heart of stone

Is hard to bear,

A heavy burden, too.

Though nothing hurts

A cold stone heart

Nothing heals it, either

And after time

Has sunk the stone

There waits an endless fire

A softened heart

Relaxes hate

And lets new love pour in

And gentle hearts

Tread light and fair

Where healing can begin.
