Forgive and Forget
To forgive is an herculean task
Like flickering flames difficult to mask
Easier said than done, it is so painful
Those forgive who are thoughtful
One needs a lot of courage
Without cribs and any grudge
We always think and are weighed down
Always should use more brain than brawn
How we wish to be so very ruthless
We should remember no one is flawless
To forgive and forget is to be brave
To let go and not be its slave
Do not dwell on the past forever
Move ahead and be clever
