on forgiveness

you say
I could never
forgive that
and I wonder
why
if the inability
to forgive
is not somehow
connected to
our pride
isn’t love
lover friend family
at least
selfless
not selfish
and though that
is not an easy thing
to be
to do
whoever said
loving
was easy

  1. Thank you! Your words strike a rich chord in me today. I’m struggling with forgiveness. Deep down I understand that being a compassionate (loving) person is about being able to accept faults in others–especially those dear to us–and come to a new level of understanding. I’m working on it.

    • The fact that you’re working on it shows you are a compassionate person. It’s not always easy but what worth doing ever is. Thank you, though, for the comment.
