1. Forgive, Forget
By: Allan D. Boswell
Once ago, back in my childhood years,
I met a girl to whom I hold so dear.
Back in those days, life was a bit too rough,
Though she was by me, no matter how tough.
Back then, I seemed to be hated by most.
A faithful reminder of my own ghost.
Surprisingly, she always seemed to help,
No matter how hard people tried to dealt.
When everyone made me at my lowest,
The love she shown for me was the nearest.
One day, she taught me what none else had said,
About forgiving those who I most dread.
To forget the wrong they have caused on me,
And strive for whom I truly want to be.
To this day, nothing about that has changed.
Though the feeling feels just as much strange.
Without her, I still hold onto her words.
As my world feels yet divided by thirds.
I will forgive all and keep moving on.
I will forget her for now she is gone.
