Forgive Yourself

by jenny46

Its easy to forgive the faults and failings of our friends For love makes it so simple -if some word or deed offends We try to understand them- for we know the inside out And if we love them very much we cannot blame or doubt ... Its just a little harder to forgive an enemy ,or someone who has censured us or done an injury Its hard to overlook it and be loving,sweet and kind,although we know we've got to,to preserve our peace of mind..... But to forgive yourself! why,that's the hardest thing of all We all do things that we regret,the strongest sometimes fall We call ourselves all sorts of names ,how angry we can get with self-reproach and worrying and useless,vain regret.... Yet when we whip ourselves like this ,we break our forces down,it robs us of our self-respect,turns smiles into a frown ..... If God forgives us surely there is nothing we can do We've seen our fault and paid the price and learnt the lesson too.... So banish it this very day and cast it from your heart Forgive yourself,forgive yourself and make another start.
