The Stone...

A little longer then a year ago, we were devastated by the actions of some people ,we hold very near and dear. We were lied about, then they gossiped about all of it. All the while we were going through a most difficult time. This is one of the things I wrote, right after all that. Hope you enjoy.

                                                                              The Stone

                                                         The stone seem to fit my hand with ease
                                                         So many targets, I can chose as I please

                                                       I have the right they’ve thrown them at me
                                                           Shatter their illusions, make them believe

                                                                      In my hand I hold a stone


                                                                   My body carries the bruises
                                                             Their judgements, cruel intrusions.
                                                        The stone is balanced, a perfect weight
                                                              What’s to consider, why hesitate
                                                                      In my hand I hold a stone


                                                                    Would I get my revenge
                                                                Could their hearts be singed
                                                                I toss the stone up and down
                                                             Each time it makes a heavy sound

      In my hand I hold a stone

 The Master said, “the one without sin”
      What of the hurt I carry within
      It really is a good stone, you see
      Yet, to throw it I’d spread the disease
       In my hand I hold forgiveness

This is one of 5 or 6 poems the Holy Ghost gave me, to help my wife and I through a very hard time. I hope if someone is dealing w/, wanting to get revenge, this helps us as much as it helped us.
