Forgiving Myself


I would change...

...Our ability to Forgive.

To let go all the

Heartaches and mistakes.

To move past the troubled times.

To Forgive mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters.

To Forgive aunts, uncles, and grandparents.

To Forgive wives, husbands, and business partners. 

To Forgive senators, presidents, religions, and countries.

To Forgive everyone that has wroned you.

What could we do without

Runaways, divorce, and wars?

Why can't we put down our pride

And pick up the hands of those who need Forgiveness?

Maybe it's you...

...Who need to Forgive yourself.
