Forgiveness

It can go both ways
Can be given
or received
It is an attribute
that must be valued
and utilized
on various occasions.
When you think
someone has betrayed you
or done you wrong
it is better
to forgive, realize
that sometimes
you have done
the same. 
Life goes in circles,
things come and go,
there is an everlasting
crescendo of give and take
So go with the flow,
don't hold grudges
Forgive

Hi Frank, truer words were never spoken. Forgiving others and yourself is truly devine. Nice write little brother.

The failure to forgive can end forever even close relationships. Pity, but true. Good poem.

I like this poem -it’s short, sweet, and to the point about a subject so important. My pastor would like this too, since forgiveness is preached in church. I enjoyed your poems sent to my inbox today, especially this and “Melodic”. Such beautiful images in that one. Congratulations on becoming a lifetime member.

Forgiveness is liberating. Freedom of the soul. Great expression of the subject matter, Frank. ~ Elaine

Perfectly timed for me to see this morning Frank. My sister and I had a major blowout recently, while she was on a home visit to Ireland from far away Australia. I have now read it twice and hope she will too when I send it to her. Thank you.

I agree, and by holding grudges we also hurt ourselves. It really is easier to just move on and let things go... Such an expressive piece of poetry filled with great words of wisdom... So well done Frank :)
