There once was a princess named Jacqueline Diana Esmeralda Swords, who lived in a castle constructed of words. On the door she wrote in big bright bold letters “ keep out you have hurt me, you have left me in fetters, you have stolen my innocence which left me in pain. Now I sit in my castle in bondage and pain.”

Now princess Jackie, as she was known by her friends, trusted no one especially men. Although she was beautiful or so she had been told, her insides were tattered, her heart had a hole.

As the time went by the princess grew lonely.

She longed for affection by her true love …. Her

one and only. But years of unforgiveness had

hardened her heart she Knew to be free she had

to make a start.

At first she pretended that her heart had been

mended, but that wasn’t true, she was still

trapped in her castle all bitter and blue. That

day she decided in order to be at peace she

needed to forgive, she needed release.

In her quest to be free she encountered a man

Who offered her hope and an ingenious plan. “I

have this book he said, inside of my pocket just

give me your heart and I’ll help you unlock it.”

Finally trusting him she gave him her heart, though hard as a rock to her amazement the book it did unlock. The pages were yellow, its inside was hollow she notice three seeds inside of a bottle.

The first seed said I forgive you, though I am human and I am hurt. The second seed said I release you and plant it in the dirt. The third one said water me and I will grow into a tree, then you will know that you have forgiven and your mind has been freed.
