Forgive and Forget. A Poem by Robert Gray
Forgive and forget. It is better to fling aside anger than let revenge bind the heart. Let memory fade as joy returns and the storm passes. The stream of life, though calm at times, will foam with each wave of sorrow. Do not stir wrath again for it will harm you more. The morning breaks and one must learn to forgive.
