Forgiveness

a poem

Forgiveness is a very humbling quality.

We must not forget, as much as we

want to blame others for faults

that they may have, we must

also take them, with open arms,

guide them in the right direction.

Those who don't forgive

are those who don't know love.

Love is accepting others, regardless.

Unconditional love is something

that is so hard for many people

to accept and understand,

but it is the greatest feeling.

At the end of it all,

When you take your last breath,

you want to be remembered.

you want to matter.

you don't want to be invisible.

you don't want to have died

in vain; you want to be remembered

for your love, compassion,

your ability to positively impact

the lives of those around you

That's what having a

forgiving heart

does for us.
