Oftentimes, we can be hard on ourselves, but what we all need is grace. Grace to be human; grace to be free. 2023-10-1212 minFind Your ResilienceForgivenessI hope this forgiveness poem finds you well.
To forgive
Is not to forget.
To forgive
Is really to remember
That nobody is perfect
That each of us stumbles
When we want so much to stay upright
That each of us says things
We wish we had never said
That we can all forget that love
Is more important than being right.
To forgive is really to remember
That we are so much more
Than our mistakes
That we are far more kind and caring
That accepting another's flaws
Can help us accept our own.
To forgive is to remember
