One of the toughest things to do, yet the result gives more pleasure than one can imagine. Well written (Report)Reply

A powerful perspective on such an important subject. Well done my friend! (Report)Reply

It is very hard for one who has been hurt in a premeditated self-serving way to forgive. But forgiveness lifts heavy load of the chest. It is an attribute of the strong and not the weak. A love poem well articulated and penned with insight. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON. (Report)Reply

The ability to let go of wrongs done to one can be one of the finest attributes of a person. (Report)Reply

Forgiving others is not always easy but forgiving ourselves is damn nigh impossible (Report)Reply

Thank you for the truthfullness in this poem Melvina..Somehow I missed this one. I wrote a poem called 'SORRY' and it made no impression at all, , , , there are some, mostly men, who can't say I forgive you for it would make them less of a man.They know women have raging hormones and off days and they will not let it go.David Harris says' do the people we forgive, forgive us also.'? Seems they'd have to do the forgiving first....People who live in glass houses should not throw stones and two men here have.
Sorry had to vent. that being said, I am so happy I found this poem and have learned the hard way that forgiveness is not easily granted, but, dang it we better forgive ourselves....There are some who don't want to hear I'mSorry and can't say it when they have lied and lied. God bless your for this gem..marci.xo (Report)Reply

Forgiveness is so hard sometimes. You can politely say the words, and people will, at times, accept that. They should look in your eyes! Eyes, the windows...
True forgiveness cleans you with a new born baby's sweetness, freshness. This work, Melvina, says it all, and so much more. So glad you put it into these words!
This should be posted somewhere in a person's house...just to remind. Great again! xxElysabeth (Report)Reply

Melvina, I agree what you say about forgiveness. The problem is do the people we forgive, forgive us as well? Maybe not, just so long as we forgive them. Lovely poem. Thanks for sharing it.

'Forgiveness, a heartfelt decision.'...this is perhaps the best way of framing it...
