Learn Howto Forgive

Learn How to Forgive

                                 I forgive you but
                        will not forget should never
                             loose sight of mishaps

                                 We are not perfect
                        fail falter misjudge can hurt
                                 misplace reflection

                             Cast our shadows blame
                         cross boundaries throw a stone
                                 crash project deny

                             Without disgrace may
                     we hold dear what happened once
                            learn change understand

                               Can you forgive too
                          and not forget the lessons
                                so we heal in one
