When I was young you hurt me,
Called me names and teased me,
I forgive you.

I grew older and you picked on me,
You called me gay and slanderd my name,
I forgive you.

You beat me up and tore my clothes,
You tried to break my will,
I forgive you.

My friends never were very close,
You made sure of that,
I forgive you.

I can forgive a thousand wounds,
A thousand insults too,
All you have to do is say,
"I'm sorry, will you forgive me?"

I forgive you!

It takes a very strong, very noble person to forgive those that have so cruelly hurt them. Exellent work, keep it up!

I'm glad you have the strength to forgive- I sure don't have it at the times I wish I did.  Keep up the good work, as usual.

Kristi, and everyone else: It does not really take all that much to forgive. All it takes is a kind heart and a willingness to swallow your own pride. I will forgive near any transgression against me, but I don't fogett it and it severely wounds the trust I would once have had for the person. Really, you should forgive others, no matter the pain they caused, it will make you feel good on the inside knowing that you were the bigger person to forgive them.

What you said in your response above mine says more than your poem did.  I like your attitude and wish more people out there felt as you do.  The world would be a better place.
Nice work.

I understand what you mean,
I forgive so much,
it's just not that easy when
certain subjects come up,
which I will explain to you
some other time.
