To Err Is Human, But To Forgive Is Divine. Poem by Roxanne Dubarry

To Err Is Human, But To Forgive Is Divine.



To err is human, but to forgive is divine.
After all, I do know about having a
green online editor, correcting
my spelling and grammatical errors.

To forgive is divine when someone
either says or does something to
cause you either emotional and/or
physical pain. Harboring resentment
and hostility is part of the game.

Could I make myself anymore plain?
Jesus Christ carefully taught his
disciples to forgive others,
if they desired God to forgive them.

I know from many long and hard years
of personal experience. I will
tell you so in a heartbeat.
Revenge is poisonous to both
the spirit and soul.
It is bitterness and not
in the least bit sweet.

Causing anger management problems,
and mental illness. I used to
have a violent and explosive temper.
I would stay awake nights.
Believe me, if I tell you
it is not alright.

I would lie if I did not say
I harbored unforgiveness in my
heart. Even though Jesus
Christ promises me daily
a brand new start.

To err is human, but to completely
forgive people is divine.
Failure to do so only serves
to containment our bodies
and our minds.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

You're so right, Roxanne! Forgiving people is good for us too and if we don't it's like an acid that eats us from inside. In the other hand, apologising is really important. You may enjoy my poem, The. Missing Three Words.
