Forgiveness

Forgiveness can be very hard,
Most of us try but don't get very far,

We can forgive what they've done, but never forget,
This is where we often go wrong and lose the bet,

You have to forget in order to forgive,
If never done than you can't truly live,

It will eat you up and you'll go crazy inside,
Trying to live but you'll only survive,

So forgive AND forget those who do you wrong,
Let them face their past while you move on strong.
