..sometimes easier said than done -

FORGIVE AND FORGET

My heart has been heavy for awhile,
Hard for me to look ahead and smile;
I didn't think what you did was right,
I carried a grudge with great delight!

My conscience said one day to me
"Just let it go, then you'll be free!"
Sometimes that's easier said than done -
When you really truly hate someone..

Maybe not someone, but what they did;
I've kept it inside and all my anger hid.
Yet I know if I want to be really free
I must forgive what they did to me.

Today I awoke with a determination
To forgive and forget this damnation!
I'll look ahead and not look back;
I can forgive, it just "forget" I lack.

As the years go by, and time moves on
I may forget what they did was wrong.
Having forgiven them so long ago,
Forgetting is the only way to go!
