I know that they say forgiveness is necessary to cleanse the soul,
But I don’t think they considered that to forgive AND forget is a whole other battles of its own.
To forget would mean letting go of the important lesson you needed to learn,
it’s what stops us from making the same mistake twice,
because the last lesson actually burned.
In the way that a chubby finger touches a hot stove when kept there for much too long,
from then on you remember the importance of right vs. wrong.
See right there? That’s the beauty in never forgetting hard times you experience,
I call it the kick in the ass everyone needs to avoid yet another oversight… period.
Basically, what I’m trying to say is that one should never forget although forgiveness is key,
it’s what truly makes this world go round and if you haven’t figured that out yet,
I pray to God, someday you might truly see.
“Forgive, and never forget”, it’s what I’ll say till I’m old and possibly gray,
I pray I remember these sentiments if ever mind starts to slip away.
