Forgiveness

I feel my heart throbbing,

Beat, Beat, Beat. 

My heart is filled with pain.

The betrayal was discrete. 

The constant lies,

Playing pretend,

Thinking I would not end our ties.

I thought we were friends.

I will not stand by,

This is now the end.

Til this day we do not speak,

You were my best friend.

We will meet, 

Once more. Until then,

I will cherish the memories,

before you were no longer my friend.

Now, I thank you.

I have become wiser; you have taught me a lesson.

Who knew?

Who believed this would be our outcome?

I am not regretful.

I loved everything you had done,

Until I knew the real you.

It was all fun,
And I forgive you.
Of course nothing can be undone,
But what good is it to hold a grudge?

Love and Compassion

What would life be without love or compassion? I believe the world would be filled with hatred and anger. Many people simply put up with the way others act because they love them. If I were to have a child who was very rude and insensitive to me and others, I would try to help them be more caring and compassionate because I would care enough about them to invest my time to help them be a better person. If there were no love or compassion in the world, I would not waste anytime on the child and not care about what they said or did. Without love or compassion, many of us would be alone from the very beginning of our lives.We may also stay alone because we would not have the patience to deal with others. Many of us make the time and patience to help others and deal with anything they do and continuously love them. Many people would be rude and care less about things such as animals, family, friends and nothing more than themselves. The world would be a selfish place and many things would fall apart. Jobs would not successfully get done and many people would be homeless. Love and compassion is a great impact on our society and without it, the world would be a much lesser place to live.
