A time in life that caused you pain....
Seems the heartache will forever remain.

You try so hard to forgive and forget....
Though not capable of letting go yet.

As time goes past you start to forgive....
But how can you forget as long as you live.

What if you could forget when you had pain....
Some of the good memories may not remain.

When you forgive it is tremendous relief....
That when you recall it causes you no grief.

You may not forget as long as you live....
Though you'll be at peace when you do forgive
