I Encourage you to forgive, so you can live free in your mind! Don't hold on to that pain of not forgiving.

Forgiveness is not for you it's for me when you hurt me I forgave you so I could be free. When you hurt me again over and over I forgave you, that's why I still live!

you have told the meaning of forgiveness perfectly a feeling we all seek even for the smallest of our infractions if we are true to our soul

You have reminded us of something which the world has largely forgotten. We forget how forgiveness puts to rest a restless soul. Thank you for your reminder. Thank you for this beautiful poem!
