forgive

by judester

Diatelle Contest Winner 
to
forgive
and relive
past trangressions.
As water through a sieve
spreads over this generation.
They, on bended knee receive ablution.
The sins of the fathers forgiven, hope renews,
radiates in ripples, warm as the sun.
Feathers fan as the deed is done.
The joy of friendship lives.
This treaty won
to forgive,
to live
true.

Thanks to GaliaG for the perfect illustration. There was a peace circle at Standing Rocks with this generation asking forgiveness for their Father's trangressions against the Indians. It was heartwarming and genuine. Want to make America great again?Let's begin with random acts of greatness.. and let that ripple across this nation.
