Forgiveness

"How oft shall my brother sin against
me and I forgive him. Math 18-21-

Hath any wronged thee thoughtlesly
Then grant to him forgiveness
Lest - by thy lack of charity
Thou cause him further to transgress.

Hath any wronged thee wistfully?
Often - still greater is the need
That thou to slight should agree
And live according to thy creed.

For thought he glory in his sin
And of his conquest marketh boast -
Thou art unscathed, untouched within
And he hath harned himself the most.
