For You I Will Smile

I wrote this poem reflecting on the actions of some of the dearest people I spend most of my life with. I understand I cannot change the actions of people. Only they can change themselves. People who are the closest to us and Jesus, are the people who hurt us the most. I understand people will always hurt us with their words and actions, but we who hold on to Him sincerely, who persevere in building relationships and not breaking them down will do our utmost to forgive and let go of those hurts, because we who understand the heart of God for people, understand that no matter what, people matter.
