Forgiveness

“I’ll forgive you, but I won’t forget it.”
We have heard this said before.
But love does not keep records of wrongs done.
It forgets them, and doesn’t keep score.

To forgive is surely divine. One needs
God’s help to accomplish this feat.
But it brings joy beyond measure to life.
It ultimately adds love, and subtracts deceit.
