Poets United prompt #26 is Forgiveness, so many directions one could go in. There is so much emotional baggage attached. I try to forgive, but I have trouble, with the forget. I am not so sure, I would consider this wise~
“The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget.”
~ Thomas S. Szasz
Map of your heart with hills in the road,Memory gauges your journey back. Shift into
Gear, move past the speed bumps, recalculate the
Risk, Soul wounded, sharp turns, curves a head
Rubbernecking wreck, release handicap thoughts.
Detoured mood, apply emergency brake,
Let go of the wheel, Wrong directions, Lost!
Geography of soul's landscape changes,
Blue lights appear, a violation of your emotions
Survey you, service your brakes, timing chain clogged.
Dead Man's Curve appears, Stop the pain
Yield and repair. Parking permitted here~

And by the way, your header is making me hungry. I am craving dessert!
The wise forgive but do not forget.... (LOVE)
Flying Monkey-Thank you, Love your name!
Michele-Oops, Hope it was a great sandwich!
Thank you! I made these yesterday to tuck in my Mom's Christmas box. My daughter arrived home just in time to help me frost and add the colored sugar, sprinkles, etc. Wish I could share...
Sherry-Wish I could share, they are lemon sugar cookies. I think I have made them every year since I was three. I don't remember, but so I have been told. Thanks, I found the word when I was looking for ideas and thought it would be a different~ I would so share, I only have willpower, for so many hours. lol
Alex-You are so right; I have seen people lose their souls and others don't bat an eyelash~
Thank you!
Pamela
