Because everything brought me to this place
And this person--the one I claimed to love.
Yet whenever others tried to love that person,
I pushed them away with tales of why I wasn't worthy,
Proving I'd never taken the time to forgive myself.
At last I found the one I never wanted to lose,
So I finally let it all go--left the past in the past--
Knowing that, this time, I'd truly never look back.

In all truth I do have some regrets, well -- actually just one. Wish I could just get over it once and for all as my life is good now.
ReplyDeleteI guess we all are on a journey towards self forgiveness. So much easier for me to forgive others than myself. Why the heck is that???

Jannie...thanks for stopping by!!! I agree that it's easier to forgive others than to forgive ourselves. But as a wise man once told me...no one else can truly love you until you truly love yourself...and that starts with forgiving yourself for being human and making mistakes...so good luck to you!!!
