All Your Words and All Your Actions

All your words and all your actions,
                                  
you hurt me very much.
                                                
What are to be my reactions,
                                          
no love your cold cold touch.
   
I must forgive and love,
                                                
Let it fly like a dove,
                                                      
I must love love above.
  
Taken away by subtractions,
                                          
all your words and all your actions.

Forgive and love is so very important. Not always easy but must be done.

Sometimes when hurt runs deep it's hard to be forgiving but I think that is the test Paula, we must rise above it...Delice

You are right on Paula, love does the heart good and forgiveness is good for the soul. Life is too short, carrying a grudge is heavy and bad for your heart.
