How Do I Forgive?

I have to want to forgive

I have to have a reason to forgive

There must be a need

An advantage for me

To forgive

Remember

The person I forgive does not have to know

That I am forgiving

The forgiving can be done without his or her knowing

It must be done for me

Forgive

Because it’s good for me

Forgiving doesn’t mean I have to continue

To live with a person

Or be friends

Forgiveness

It means “I love myself”

And I disallow

Feelings of resentment and anger

To destroy me

Be nice to yourself

Forgive

And you will be free

Don’t forgive

And you’ll never be free of hate and anger

Choose the peace of forgiveness
