We often hold onto bad feelings and let others bring us down. This is our nature. When wronged, we can’t help but feel sad. We must realize we are God’s children. To honor God, we need to forgive and let go. . . Sept. 18, 2018 for the Human Nature contest of Edward Ibeh using Edward's Yalto Poetry form. See "About Poem" for details of its form.

Well done! Letting go is one of the hardest things to do but, it lifts so much off of one's back when you finally are able to do so. Great advice.

I agree about forgiving and letting go. We have it within us to forgive the unforgivable but it takes time and effort. A nice entry Andrea. I don't think I understand this contest. : )
