Forgiving To Remember It
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Forgiving to remember it,
When and where done to do?
Is easier than forgetting,
Who and why a forgiveness given...
Stays to remain unforgotten.
Trying to erase from one's mind,
A doing to forgive 'and' forget...
Everytime,
That same 'someone'...
Returns to expect a forgiveness to get.
For wrongs meant to do.
Away and out of sight,
By one chosen to deliberately victimized.
As if the right thing to say,
Is God is aware of all our flaws.
And not a law was broken,
If an apology said done to do it.
Regardless of the many times,
Heard to hear.
What's the big deal,
Of how one should feel.
When God does not judge,
Those who innocently make mistakes!
'I know that!
However...
Your mistakes made,
Were intended to make!'
'So what?
And if that's true,
Why should you be that upset?
And you are the one,
Claiming in my face to be so faithful.
Leaving me to believe,
You are a forgiver!
Proving that to me you have not done yet!'
'I hope and pray some day,
For that opportunity to come.'
