Forgiveness Poem by John Thorkild Ellison

Forgiveness

Rating: 3.9


Lucky the man who never judges
Another, or bears any grudges!
Sometimes it's so hard to forgive -
I guess it's a question of 'live and let live'.
When someone has wronged you or hurt your pride
And hatred is eating you up inside,
Try to forgive and release the pain,
Don't take those walks down memory lane,
Don't be a victim again and again.
Anger can really drive you mad
And scorn and contempt are just as bad,
Better just to forget and let it go,
Let the spirit say Yes, though the flesh says No.
