Forgiveness unforseen

you gave me

without a ‘But’

without a price tag

without a regular

reminder bitter

and grudged.

‘It might take me a while to trust’

you said

but it didn’t

because you knew yourself

and you knew me

and you wanted our love

more than ego.

Ego is lonely

and unforgiveness

an open grave.

Yet receiving this from you

was so light and airy

a love undiluted.

The best gift I ever had

your forgiveness,

You.

And knowing God

was doing for us

which we could never

have done for ourselves.
