Our Hearts Are Sore - remix #2


At the start -
forgive -
before the pain -
let live -
one simple step -
prepared release -
saves time and brain -
it's sure to please -
the pressures off -
completely at ease -
so now mistakes -
bring on laughter -
cause it works -
it's what I'm after
.

(Imagine a world where everyone puts forgiveness in place at the start of every relationship, even the briefest of encounters. Walls come down.)

I have challenged myself to refine, rewrite, and rework something I have done in the past once a week. This is a Monday feature for this year.

What a great way to begin a day - by remembering to forgive as you go! And that includes myself :)

Lovely remix Larry!
Forgivness... A word with so many layers.
"I forgive you", is sometimes easier said then done.

Larry - this is lovely. Though I have mixed feelings on forgiveness. There is forgiveness and there FORGIVENESS. As a survivor of violence, I do not forgive my assailants. They never asked for forgiveness, nor should it be granted. I don't hold hatred in my heart - but I do not forgive.

A wonderful idea, Larry. You really are stretching as far as you can!
