Forgiveness is hard to give,
Easy to take.
Sometimes it puts joy in your heart,
Or makes it break.

Forgiveness takes a lot,
But it’s worth it in the end.
If you hold a grudge throughout your life,
Happiness will not descend.

Save yourself from all the hatred,
Save yourself from all the regret.

Forgive them now for all they done.
For with a grudge have you reason to run?
