Ian, I like how deep and true this is. Nothing's easy when it comes to forgiving and forgetting, and remembering. :) , Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will get much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your verse. As for now, I will greet you with the same smile, others passed, when I first join the soup. Wishing you and your poetry the best. I hope you get to meet all the nice poet's around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you wish. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND" Hugs* SKAT"

Thanks a lot. Yes I did mean it as absolution. I wrote mostly about the old saying "forgive but don't forget". Learn from your experiences but don't allow change who you are. appreciate the feedback

This is an awesome poem -- the constant battle of forgiving, forgetting, and remembering . . . your third line impactful, not sure if you meant this but I took it as absolution -- which ties in nicely with you overall theme.
