The Heart That Loves Forgives

You have heard friends 
criticize someone for showing
little regret...
for the wrong done
without  thought!
Will they ever know...
how much hurt
there is yet?

Oh,but the heart that love forgives...
everyone...everything quickly;
oh,but the heart that loves forgives...
because it can forget so suddenly! 

We have left alone memories
of days,of times gone by us...
and like the loss  of someone:
they are too painful to be remembered;
can we learn how to be 
more compassionate and wise?
The kinder we are,
the better we become,
 but allowing the grudge to linger 
and not showing  forgiveness 
or, at least, trying to make real changes..
can be so unfair!  


Oh,but the heart that loves forgives...
everyone everything quickly;
oh,but the heart that love forgives...
because it can forget so suddenly!
