A Gift For Giving: A Found Poem Poem by Frank Avon
A Gift For Giving: A Found Poem
Forgiveness is a gift
we give ourselves; not
the person we forgive
but ourselves. When we harbor
resentment and vitriol
we only harm ourselves.
Everything is forgivable;
some things are inexcusable
but everything is forgivable.

Note: A found poem based on 'How Living with and Loving Bruce Jenner Changed My Life Forever, ' by Linda Thompson. (See Story for www citation.)
I only wish I could be so forgiving, or at least could forget pangs from childhood that still haunt me and taunt me.

I completely agree, Frank. I have forgiven some atrocities committed against me and have palpably felt the release. (I only wish that the forgetting part was as easy)
