Forgiveness

The most admirable quality That humans possess Is the strength to forgive and forget Let bygones be bygones And get on with your life It's something you'll never regret If you don't, it will haunt you Causing anguish and pain Till you come to terms with the strife It will eat at your psyche You'll forever be tortured The thoughts will cut like a knife So call up this person Invite them to lunch And tell them it's another new day Let them know you forgive And still, want their friendship The strength of your bond will prevail There are more worthy qualities That humans possess That form us and define who we are But none so cleansing And good for the soul Our most admirable quality by far

Great writing, John! And wiser words were never spoken. And not to forget, to forgive oneself--a prerequisite.
