Forgive ~ A Poem
January 8, 2009
That slight misdeed of yesterday,
why should it mar today?
The thing he said, the thing you did,
have long since passed away;
For yesterday was but a trial;
today you will succeed,
And from mistakes of yesterday
will come some noble deed.
Forgive yourself for thoughtlessness,
do not condemn the past;
For it is gone with its mistakes;
their memory cannot last;
Forget the failures and misdeeds,
from such experience rise,
Why should you let your head be bowed?
Life up your heart and eyes!
