FORGIVENESS
To forgive
Is not to forget.
To forgive
Is really to remember
That nobody is perfect
That each of us stumbles
When we want so much to stay upright.
That each of us says things
We wish we had never said
That we can all forget and that love
Is more important than being right.
To forgive is really to remember
That we are so much more
Than our mistakes.
We should be more kind and caring
And accepting of another's flaws
As this can help us accept our own.
To forgive is to remember
That the odds are pretty good that
We might soon need to be forgiven ourselves.
That life sometimes gives us more
Than we can handle gracefully.
To forgive is to remember
That we have room in our hearts to
Begin again
And again
And again
