'Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining'

I came across this beautiful poem written by Coelho, and thought it was important that i share his insights about life. The beauty with which the words flow with each other is enthralling. It is for all the people out there who have been hurt, cheated upon or slandered-Learn the art of forgiveness. And believe that whatever hardships youre facing now would help to make you into a better person tomorrow. Have faith and hope for the best. And believe in the saying that every cloud has a silver lining. Sometimes things even though they get cliche never lose their value. 


Prayer Of Forgiveness


The tears I shed, I forgive.
The suffering and disappointments, I forgive.
The betrayals and lies, I forgive.
The slandering and scheming, I forgive.
The hatred and persecution, I forgive.
The punches that were given, I forgive.
The shattered dreams, I forgive.
The dead hopes, I forgive.
The disaffection and jealousy, I forgive.
The indifference and ill will, I forgive.
The injustice in the name of justice, I forgive.
The anger and mistreatment, I forgive.
The neglect and oblivion, I forgive.
The world with all its evil, I forgive.
Grief and resentment, I replace with understanding and agreement.
Revolt, I replace with music that comes from my violin.
Pain I replace with oblivion.
Revenge, I replace with victory.I will be able to love above all discontentment.
To give even when I am stripped of everything.
To work happily even when I find myself in the midst of all obstacles.
To dry tears even when I am still crying.
To believe even when I am discredited.
