Forgiveness What is forgiveness? A state of mind that’s open- a heart that still cares. Hope to heal the pain; the wish to set back the clock, start over again. Tears that wash away bitterness in heart and mind- with understanding. Sandra M. Haight ~1st Place~ Contest: Forgiveness Senryu Contest Sponsor: Laura Loo Judged: 08/21/2016

Nicely worded, Sandra -- but, it's seldom a mutual action. Initiated by one or the other (or neither).... ;-)

Thank you for the nice comment, Tom. Yes...most times it's a one-way street, at least to get started. Sandra

What a way to describe forgiveness:) All the best:)

Thank you, Jo. What is good about short forms like the Senryu is that sentiments have to be refined into just a few words. That can make the write more powerful. Hugs, Sandra
