Thoughts on Forgiveness from Freshmen Students

My Freshmen students studied the story of the Lost Son this year. We linked the lesson to character traits and forgiveness. I asked my students for homework to write a short story, song, poem or draw a picture of forgiveness. Surprisingly they were really good.
Here are three that I thought you might like:

Forgiveness by Joe (female student :-)
There is something in the world, which can free your heart. It's called forgivenenss.
Sometimes, Forgiveness is a choice, you can choose happy or to be tied down.
When dust all settled, you should realize that, anything else can't change but your mind.
So, please open your heart, to forgive or to be forgiven.

What is the Forgiveness by Allia
Forgiveness is the scent that remains in your hands after you send the flower to strange people.
Forgiveness is the rainbow that appears to decorate the world more colorful after the thunderstorm.
Forgiveness is the chocolate that you never knew what is the next taste going to be.
Forgiveness is one of the most kindest morals no matter who has it will not be sad in the world.
Forgiveness is a kind of coffee, everyone should taste it slowly, you will find it already flowing in your blood and become the strength to make you stronger and stronger.
Forgiveness, please spread your scent to everywhere you can!

A Short Story by Sasha
Long, long time ago, there was a little pig and a little panda living in the woods. The panda was so diligent that he planted crops all over the land. However, the little pig was so lazy that he slept day and night. One day, when the pig saw the luxuriant crops in the panda's land, he was full of envy and hatred. So, the pig began to dig up all the crops. As the panda saw what the pig was doing, he burst into tears. He was sad, not because of the crops but of the friendship between himself and the pig. But he acted as nothing happened, he forgave the pig from the bottom of his heart. In his opinion, friendship was more important than valuable crops.
