Hard To Find

by Boogienights

Forgiveness Poem Contest Winner 
I'm finding it hard to forgive
my parents for lies they told.
Now that I've finally learned the truth,
they're gone and I am old.

Their infant son was left behind
in England, after the war.
I never knew that he was there,
it's shaken me to the core.

He found me, now I know the truth.
My perception of mom and dad
has changed so much, how could they
just erase a child they had?

I'll never know the whys of it,
I wish they were still both here.
What other secrets did they have,
that would bring me close to tears?

I know to "err is human,
and forgiveness is divine".
But I'm finding it hard to forgive,
what they did was so unkind.

I love the parents that I knew,
they loved me and raised me with care.
But for secrets that they kept from me,
true forgiveness won't be there.
