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
Til 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
