Healing
It is a
Great moment
When a rift
From the past
Is healed
Scars fade
Calm returns
The need
For a peace-filled mind
Overpowers unreason
When enough
Time has passed
Rejoice
Treasure loved ones
Then look eagerly
To the future
With tidings of
Good cheer

Snapshots 
Letting go of past wrongs can be difficult, especially if we had a hand in it. Dealing with them, letting love rule over such situations, is better than the bitterness that dwells within us when we ignore the problem. Forgiveness may seem difficult at the time, like we’re giving in and letting someone else win, beat us. And maybe we are, but the benefits of patching up relationships with those we love are worth every moment of discomfort. Live.Laugh.Love.
