If you forgive you are setting yourself free of grudges and bitterness; if you can forget, that will give you freedom to think clearly. Your poem is so fitting; the seven words you wrote are very good.

Rosemary thank you!
Comment from lyenochka
So true! In seven words you have given the remedy to so much mental, emotional, and spiritual suffering. Once one can forgive the burden can't keep a person in the past. Best wishes in the contest!

I must agree totally with these sentiments, I'm not sure folk can forget, but they certainly can forgive, by an act of one's will, one can wipe the slate clean, this is beautifully written, good luck, blessings Roy

Comment from Anne Johnston
This is a good entry for the contest. Your words are so true, forgiveness gives us personal freedom. It is not easy to forget the wrong, but when we forgive we break the chains on our own life.

This is a very strong statement. If only it were so simple. They say, if you could bottle that recipe, the world would be at your doorstep. Good luck in the prompt.
