This is probably my bane in my life, my one true issue. I let go of something or bury it deep and far, far away. But, forgiveness comes hard for me, though it has been done. It is easier just to move on with your life and forget that you ever new me.

[Willard Wells]

But when it is you that must forgive yourself, you must go there or suffer till the end of your time. It does not matter the outcome, as long as you can find some peace and happiness within your life.

Oh, I kick myself raw when I have it coming and I invariably end up talking to the Lord before I can function as I want to!

A profound write Willard and so true in meaning.

Many times we have to forgive ourselves before our hearts are open enough to forgive others. Kathie

Forgiveness is a difficult thing, how do you know when have truly forgiven something. Its sometimes hard to tell.

[Willard Wells]

When the anxieties are not living with you daily you will know. It may come back on occasion and you just have to remind yourself that it is in the past and you have no control over your past. You must go forward and create new positive experiences. The future it yours to design.

[JayceeC]

I try to never hold grudges. It helps the question is more of when is it just a memory and when is it still not forgiven?

[Willard Wells]

Well when we have weak moments in life any memory can come back, but after a point when it comes back you just push it aside and move on as you know it is no longer part of you.

[Coyote Poetry]

Great wisdom in these words. Must forgive others than yourself. Thank you Willard for sharing the outstanding poetry.

well written Willard, i love this style of writing and you do it very well with words that tell the truth, its how to forgive :)

[Willard Wells]

Well I re-wrote it after my work on Senryu and Haiku which helped me make the changes. Thank you for reviewing and commenting on my work.

That is a great photo, Willard. So many horizontal lines.

[Willard Wells]

Well my Senryu and Haiku work helped me rework this. I just could not get the words to a point of being a Senryu, but it seem to work as is. Thanks for reading and commenting

[AaronFreitas]

You make a great point and give great advice. Forgiveness comes from within... the ability to let go of feelings associated with the root cause of the pain or hurt. Good write :) Beautiful picture also

[Willard Wells]

Thank you so much for reading my work. I have lived long enough to realize regret will not help you move on. Most of my writing is simple life and be a good human. Being a good human to me is a lofty goal in a life.
