This was so wonderfully expressed.
In our lives, when we do have these things happen...it is true and important to remember that time 'is' precious. Thank you for writing this and for all the kind words you have given my poetry. ;) Silver

The thing nearly as beautiful as God's love, is His
example to us, of forgiveness.
A most touching piece of poetry, my friend, and one

Oh Karla, this poem touched me, greatly. As you know, I went through a similar incident, having done wrong and asked forgiveness. I can only hope that through time, my friend will forgive me, too.
Beautiful write from your soul.

Times like this can be hard....when you've been hurt sometimes it feels like you'll never feel the same..But hate brings harm to yourself.....there have been times when I've felt the same but in the end you just have to let it go I guess....Wonderful write from your heart....ty, Dani

With deep concern i must make it clear to you that your peom touched me beyond imagination. What has happened has already happened. Plese do not only for give her but also forget the whole issue that has been lying between you and kathy. Karla, my dear sister, please replace the old seeds of hatred with new ones of peace and love.

This is wonderful, Karla. Sometimes life is not so kind as to have at least one person take the first step. What's worse is if no one does. The beauty is when both do. ~~Bonnie Q

Karla...I was angry at someone once...and it didn't feel good...it went on for awhile...she did me wrong...I found that if I prayed for her...I couldn't be angry at her anymore...God is always the answer...this was so heartfelt...so moving...and I am so happy whe wrote you and that you accepted her apology...life is surely too short....(((hugs))) floria

There is nothing more beautiful than the reconciliation of lost loved ones, whether friends, family members, or lovers. The first step -- whoever takes it -- is always the most difficult, but once made, can lead to a great healing for all who are a part of it.

I hope that yours, Kathy's and Karen's is a lasting healing.

(((Karla)))

This moved me to tears; you ought to make a copy and send it to Kathy, now that we have her addy! She would be touched by this; I sure am! I forgive her, and I love her; I always will! She is NOT our enemy; she is our OLDEST sister, and we deserve to love her and respect her! She may have done wrong, but then so have we; and Kathy is asking us to forgive her. That must have taken a lot of courage on her part; and if she sees this, Kathy, I DO accept your apology, and I hope you find it in your heart to forgive US. Thank you for remembering us; that really means so much!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your sister, Karen Lynn. :D

And Karla:

I love you too, and I commend you for writing such a powerful and heartfelt write! BRAVA, dear one! :D
