Forgiveness

By: Jake Nelson

 

Life of hurting, life of harm,

Now he’s even lost his charm.

Had no choice, but to turn to drugs,

Paying back a group of thugs

 

Forced to dealing,

And sometimes stealing,

Living in a world of debt

All the things that he regrets

 

In one night it all goes down

Biggest drug heist in the town

Cops surrounding cops alert

All that he knew was he was hurt

 

All he sees now is metal bars

Hunky cellmates with anchor scars

Hoping now for a break

Any path for him to take

 

Eventually a man goes by

And catches him with his eye

Takes him out and sets him free

Lets him live and lets him be

 

No don’t you worry don’t you fret

That man is safe and sound I bet

The man that saved him who set him free

Is a man who is very close to me

 

man of mercy man of love

A man I think that you should know of

His name is Jesus, son of God

Who sent his son to shed his blood

 

The greatest gift that he could give

Is mercy so that we could live

This is really good. seems like your a fantastic writer. i hope you write more.

i like how you told the story, it was full of detail and you could practically see the story unfolding before my eyes, and the ending was rather nice
