Forgiveness

by Bobbie J. Brown (Scorpio) - Not entered

There is something you may give
yourself that others can't.
If you find it in your heart
you'll learn that it's important.
It's a process everyone needs
to cope with and accept.
Hard as it may be to do
you should learn to take that step.
It will destroy so many things
from which we can't get release.
It puts courage inside us
to help us reach inner peace.
We are better people when
we forget and learn to live.
It's what we call forgiveness
and it starts with -- I forgive.

Reason for writing:

    I wrote this poem because there are too many things in my past that I need to let go.  People tell me that the first step is forgiveness.  This is my way of helping myself to forgive.
