Forgive! The Forgetting Will Come Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The most difficult thing one can do,
But has proven to rid one of anxieties...
Is to forgive oneself!
With an acknowledgement of a wrong done.
Regardless of who did what first,
To anyone!

Forgive!
The forgetting will come.

Why remain embittered waiting for another,
To express remorse.
Some folks carry a hatred to their graves.
And for what reason?
To ensure the beating of a dead horse,
Has been successfully done?

Forgive!
The forgetting will come.
