Letting go vs. Forgiving

I let go of negative thoughts and comments.  I hold onto the love and faith to forgive.

I let go of the pain and hurt.                               I feel the joy in my heart, forgiving oneself.

I let go of my ego, and importance.                  I have the ability to forgive

Grieving the loss and empty space that you once filled.  Letting go of you is impossible for the memories are etched in my heart and soul.  Forgiving the life where you can be gone and continue to keep moving on.

I loosen the grip

Palms open 

Lines drawn in the skin

I smile and see the beautiful life where letting go and forgiving become one.
