Forgive

Forgiving ourselves
Allows us to forgive others,
Less stuff to bag and drag along
Like so many things to forget if
We could only edit our lives.
Better to forgive than mull
Over regrets, mistakes, or
Things we simply could
Not resist which seem
Now as then far too
Wonderful to miss
Since audacity is,
Like virtue, it’s
Own reward
If you dare
To risk the
Consequences.
I regret nothing as
I no longer control what
Is already done and having
Cast the dye and dice, no
Sense in a second guess
And so, much better to
Trust ourselves and
Others that we all
Did the best we
Could do at
The time,
Now as then.
Besides, what
Do I know of what
Will come of decisions
Long past, better to
Laugh and shake
The hand of fate
Confident we
Do and did
What we
Gotta,
Do.
Smile,
Enjoy the
Memories,
Anticipate your
Future mistakes
As you would rub
Your hands over
A campfire on
A woodland
Winters
Day.
