Forgiveness is the Key to My Happiness

Forgiveness offers all that I seek,
A gift so vast, profound, and unique.
What could I want it cannot give—
A way to truly, fully live?
Do you seek peace? It answers true,
A quiet mind, a purpose new.
Do you seek joy that will not fade,
A worth that time cannot degrade? 
It shields with care, a warm embrace,
A gentler time cannot erase.
It offers rest, a calm so deep,
A safety sure, complete, perfect peace.
It sparkles softly as I rise,
A joyful gleam within my eyes.
It soothes my forehead through darkest night,
Dispelling fear with healing light.
And when the dawn begins to break,
Another gift: the day I wake.
Happiness and peace restore,
All this it gives—and so much more.
