Forgive Is Essential


Forgive is essential,

There is a tendency in all of us to hold ourselves,

More accountable than we do others,

Perhaps you have been one who can justify forgiving others,

Even for a heinous offense,

Yet you find no justification for forgiving yourself,

For an equal or lesser offense,

Perhaps you believe that forgiving yourself,

Is not even a consideration,

Because you think you must hold yourself,

In a state of constant remembrance,

Lest you forget,

Perhaps you believe there is a price,

Some form of life long penance that you must pay.
