This poem is beautiful and so wonderfully true. You really hit the nail on the head with what you said. Forgiveness is what we need, but we still don't.

Hello again.
Fantastic piece about forgiveness. The author notes are not needed as the work stands well alone, but they do add dimensions. Great good fortune to you in the contest with this really exceptional poem. fondly, rebecca

Comment from Always Hope
I've never given anyone a 6 star rating. This is one of the best poems I've read on Fanstory in years. I'm usually not one for repetition, but it worked fabulous in this moving, TRUTHFUL poem.
Forgiveness is so important to me. What a wonderful topic to write about!
I wish you the best in the contest!

Always Hope,
I am more than honored by this most generous review. For you to say you have not given a 6, yet you deem this work your highest esteem, goes very deep to my heart.
Working on forgiveness can sometimes be a long trial for ourselves. Betrayal is a tough one and that is what I had to come to terms with. This was a tough write for me, as it did bring up a lot of old feelings, yet while writing, I asked myself once again, "Did I truly forgive?" And my answer was, "Yes, I did and it still holds". That made me feel content.
I am so happy you liked this poem. Means so much to me. Again, thank you for this uplifting review and all your wonderful comments.
With warmest regards,
Sue

I love these lines:
"But the heart,the heart always longs
For it beats and bleeds many songs"
I found this poem needed to read very carefully, which ensured that one savoured the words.. Good luck!

Comment from LadyMary
Although we've heard it said in many ways, this poem beautifully describes what needs to be done for one to move past anger and forgive. Not forgiving carries such a heavy burden. We've been hurt badly once; why hurt ourselves again and again? You have expressed that so well. The rhyme is excellent. LadyMary

Comment from grassroots08
I really didn't mind the repetition throughout. As a matter of fact I wondered if this was a borrowed form that I was just not privy to. I don't know all the rules in poetry, that is for sure. Well told piece. There were a couple spots where the lines seemed too long - a tad only, so the bumps could be ironed out in it.
Ex.: "To have solace where solace belongs
With forgiveness, the key - no regret"
All of your lines are eight syllables long, except the last two. Don
"To have solace where it belongs
And forgive, the key - no regret

Dang it! You spotted them!! HA!!!! Couldn't even sneak those in. You are right. I re-read it again and thought I'd re-touch and backed off. But, now am going to fix it or I won't sleep tonight. LOL!!! I really appreciate your kind review and very specific critique. I didn't find follow a format that I knew of, so I was on "shaky" ground as I wrote it. I don't know much about the rules either. Just finding my way through this lovely journey of learning. Much appreciated! Sue

A wonderfully elevating presentation with apt artwork, color scheme and finely composed lines of deep wisdom for inspiring healing and transformation. Splendid. No nits or spag to fix. An elevating write with great tone and nice melodic flow.
Great message.
