Forgiveness

                  Forgiveness will quieten your anger and resentment.

                  Forgiveness will clear your mind and body of

                  Thoughts and feelings of the past incidents.

                  Forgiveness will enable you to enjoy the present.

                  Forgiveness will get you what you want.

                  Forgiveness will free you of your troubled past forever

                  And you will be able to see that life still has so much to offer to you.

                  Only forgiveness will give you abiding happiness.

                  Life is not always paved with roses.

                  The thorns of hurts given by others

                  And the mistakes made by us at times

                  Make life seem like an ordeal.

                  But we can easily step over these thorns and

                  Not allow them to keep hurting us endlessly

                  By the magic of forgiveness.

                  Let us remember that forgiveness is for our own sake

                  And not for those who offend us.

                  So learn to forgive – others and yourself too!
