Forgiveness

The most admirable quality That humans possess Is the ability 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 pain and anguish 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's other worthy qualities That humans possess That form us and define who we are But none so cleansing And good for the soul It's our most admirable quality by far © Jack Ellison 2015

Hey guys... anyone want to go to lunch with me? I'll be good, honestly!... UH... No... I can't guarantee my Dragon... But maybe a picnic in the park would be nice... He's a hero you know... When not destroying the world... AWWWW... Come on now... It would be nice...

I've suffered some serious stuff that rhymes with wit in my time, and I believe that the best remedy is forgiveness. To carry a burden of hatred for the rest of your life is like a rucksack of hot coals and achieves nothing. Forgiveness is noble, and difficult, but ultimately rewarding. Great verse, Jack.
