Forgiveness Wasnt Forgetting
Forgiveness wasn’t Forgetting
Written: by Miracle Man

At seventeen I saw something,
that I’ve always regretted seeing.
Causing me to leave home early,
some wondering why I was fleeing.
Both parties have long since passed,
to whom this concerns.
But at times I see this picture,
that in my mind still churns.
This happening long ago,
I avowed I was forgiving.
But sixty-five years later,
I find this picture, I’m reliving.
To this thought altering act,
I’ve been a periodic slave.
Since I’m the only living witness,
it goes with me to my grave.
Were they sorry for their deed,
or that they were caught.
One sought God’s forgiveness,
for the pain that was wrought.
Though this was something,
perhaps both parties had regret.
Now I question my forgiveness,
when I’m unable to forget?
