Conscientious Poem by Tameeka Smith

Many times we speak of
Forgiving or people not being bitter
Letting go and moving on
Well that's great still we
Must always own our mistakes
Yes things happen
And not on purpose at times
Still we must be mindful
Of having common decency
To make choices that won't
Have to result into things
That requires looking
For forgiveness
We all we have to be conscientious
Of we what do or say
Having the mindset
Of crossing a street
Looking both ways
Before making a move
Treating people as we
Would like to be treated
And not expecting people
To get over what was done
Because we were in the wrong
So let's not just speak of
Holding grudges
Let's first be careful and diligent
So we don't have to seek mercy
From someone who's hurting
Its important to care
What we do in the first place.
