Turning the other cheek and forgiving someone who is done wrong to one is hard. Thank you for a beautiful piece that reminds us to take a higher road.

Nice to see some of the amazing words on forgiveness from you. Keep up the good work!

Trying the comment thing again! I love this post. Forgiveness is hard, but you've written about it so beautiful here. Great post!

You are right. Forgiveness is for you. It is not worth it to keep hating. It is poison.

Beautiful and true words. Forgiveness can be very difficult but as you say it's not just for the person you must forgive but is important for yourself too!

Sometimes it's hard to remember that forgiveness is about ourselves too. I love that! This is a beautifully written post.

I enjoyed your poem. Forgiveness is so very important, and yet often so difficult to give whether to others or ourselves. Shawn has a post on his blog about this too.

Forgiveness is something that is essential and needs to be practised more often. I enjoyed reading your words.

This is great, and a very good reminder, forgiveness is also about setting yourself free

Forgiving although hard to do sometimes, can make us feel a lot better about ourselves. It brings closure often times.

Forgiveness is one of the hardest things to do, especially for a loved one. But its so much harder to stay angry I learned.

It's not easy to forgive. It takes gut to do it!

I totally agree that forgiveness is for yourself, and not necessarily for who you're forgiving. Holding anger and resentment in your heart is not healthy, and forgiveness can be healing and freeing!

Okay...as a grudge holder and someone that can be all kinds of petty, I needed this poem. I think I might need to get a screenshot of it on my phone as a reminder to live and forgive. Thank you for sharing!

Love love love love love!!! Thank you so much! I needed this lately! It's hard to let go of some of the things that hurt us so much but for our own heart we need to remember to forgive. Thank you!

This is written beautifully. Forgiving is truly difficult but this is for ourselves when we do that.

I don't hold grudges - or in other words, I always forgive. That being said, I also don't be-friend or hang out with anyone who wound WRONG me in any sort of way, so my life is pretty drama free :)

Such a nice post. The sooner you forgive someone you can get rid of their thoughts and from the idea of revenge.

Forgiveness is a great quality and symbol of humanity.Very touching post.
