It was my choice to summon up my Conscience for that role.

Unselfishness has been the answer to a life of grief.

The more I put it into play, the more I get relief.

It’s my Conscience now that monitors my motives at their roots.

The result has been a healthy tree, and I enjoy the fruits.

Forgiveness: Life’s Hardest but Sweetest Lesson

Is Memory like hoary frost; painful, ceaseless, frigid scenes. Joy comes only in forgetting? Tho, we are told to visit these.

Befriend the memory, dear friend. Accept that this happened to ME. Then forgive ugly abusers; this will block the den of thieves.

You ask me why I voice these tales? Aren’t these ‘me too’ moments lessons? Forgiveness of my abuser’s wrong? Easy! It’s for me; it spares the guns.

Forgiveness foils Adam’s sin; Avoids the shameful, future troubles. Share a pain — its cut in half; share a joy and it is doubled.
