Your words contain very wise counsel. Holding onto a grudge or negative feelings towards someone is damaging to one's own ability to enjoy life. Better to 'clear the weeds' and look ahead than lingering on past hurts.

A great philosophy of life and living. We do not know our allocated time on earth, and need to appreciate and value each day. Forgiveness is liberating. Well done. Best wishes for your entry in this contest.

What excellent advice. We all need to live by it, but it does seem to be harder to do than it sounds. We never know when that "too late" will become reality so now is the time to follow your wise words.
Perfect syllable count for the contest. Nice internal rhyme with 'forgive' and 'live'.
Good luck.

Very beautifully said. It captures the essence of a godly living and a kind soul. God asks us to forgive because He forgave us first.
Very well written. Good luck with the contest!!

This is a good entry for the 2-8-2 poem contest. Good rhyme with wait and late. It is simple and yet has a strong message of forgiveness and living.
I did ponder the middle line though and thought to offer a suggestion - just food for thought.

Forgive and live before it is
or
Forgive and let live before it's

Thank you for sharing and best of luck in the competition.
