I challenge you
to forgive,
but not forget.
Must we always suffer
the consequences
of the very first fight?
Do we have the right
to make the future
so dark and gloomy
for the children?
I challenge you to forgive,
but not forget.
Are you up to this challenge?

May ripples of LOVE
become waves of PEACE

A philosophy I can well appreciate, in small and greater matters. And certainly, worth the effort.

No matter how good looking she is... someone, somewhere is glad she's gone.

Thanks, reluctant one.
There is a personal message in this one, but the primary one is for the world citizenry, to find a better way to remember the past, without constantly repeating it....as in war.

(big hugggsssssss) Yes, the past must be brought into focus but our children must be taught to forgive too so we can eradicate the tears and agony of war to ever recur again! (sigh) This is well-said, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!
