Matthew 18:21-19:1

everyday
we ask
how many times
we must forgive
the ones
who have hurt us
over and over
as we struggle to live
each time
hearing the same-
as many times
as the question
is asked
mercy
is the only answer
until every lesson
is learned

How many times have you been called to forgive?
How many times have you needed forgiveness?
Do you hear the answer of mery?
