To forgive is really to remember:
That nobody is perfect,
That each of us stumbles when we want so much to stay upright,
That each of us has done things we wish we had never done,
That we can all forget that love is more important than being right.
To forgive is really to remember:
That we are so much more than our mistakes,
That we are often more kind and caring than we think,
That accepting another's flaws can help us accept our own.
To forgive is to remember:
That the odds are pretty good that we might soon need to be forgiven ourselves,
That life sometimes gives us more than we can handle gracefully.
To forgive is to remember:
That we have room in our hearts to begin again,
And again,
And again.
