He Forgave

If someone had killed my son For something that he had did or done, My heart and my soul would be broken No words of condolences could ever be spoken. Of course I would scream and cry and shout I would be furious without a doubt, And I know that I would be hurt and for a time lost And no one could understand the terrible cost. If from murder I would had lost my child, I know that I couldn't be rational or calm or reconciled And I know at that moment all that I would see is red If anyone had killed my son dead. But, in revenge I couldn't seek to kill I instead would seek to forgive and heal, Do not return evil for evil I truly do believe Retaliation will never, ever relieve. When on the cross the son was crucified Of course the father he cried, But, he didn't seek revenge to send the murderers to the grave Unto the murderers, he forgave. Randy L. McClave
