The irony of forgiveness,

Is that human nature, doesn't

Demand that its cause

Be given forgetfulness;

Thus, giving anger opportunity

To revive its paining spirit

Of negative recollection;

Versus positive reconciliation:-

To forgive and not forget

Can prove to be oxymoronic;

Inhibiting resurrecting love

From eternally bonding

Family, friends, or lovers:-

The forgiveness we ask of God,

We must also give to one another;

And this forgiveness begins

With the forgiveness of self:-

Past trials and tribulations

Extricated and flushed down,

Let self be now ever bonded

In the onederful oneness onement

That God has bestowed upon thee

With faith’s divine peace and love:-
