Forgive

by Michelle Tharp



What is the true meaning to forgive someone?

Isn’t it to be able to accept, deal with, and even be able to let go of
what someone may or may have not done?

Why is it so many want to lock down and judge, even dislike when
they really have no right?

Why does one seem to continually lose sight when taking hope from
another’s right to want to continue the fi ght?

When will enough be enough in one’s heart, in one’s eyes?

Because in the end, when all is said and done, the question will still
be there. Why?!

No one is perfect, we all have made our mistakes,

But instead of learning from them, so many just want to hate!!

We all truly need to take a moment, and to think of what it is to really
forgive,

Because I’m sure if it was you, your family or friend, this is no way
you would want to live!
