The purpose of life on earth
Is to love,
Give,
And serve.
For some reason,
Offenses happen
Often,
Hush words are spoken
Without careful consideration.
Resentments become roadblocks
in communication.
Pardon must be given,
Anger must be renounced
In order for peace, love, and humanity
To be granted by Heaven.
To love
Is to forgive
Not receive!
It’s hard to love one’s enemy,
But,
The pain is NOT lessened
When hatred faces hatred.
Love obliterate
And eliminate.
Love is light,
Love is sunshine.
To love others
Is to love yourselves.
With love as the prescription
For everything,
Life is lighter,
Your smile is brighter.
*****
Happy Saturday,
U Deserve Happiness!

So true. So much begins within...in order to love and forgive, we must first love and forgive ourselves.
Lovely poem.
yes, we must begin with ourselves first. nice poem.
You have a lot of wisdom to share, Jingle. Thank you.
so true!
Amen!! And are the images you use your own? If so, they are marvelous.
I'm not sure I understand this, really. If you forgive and the person come right back and does the same thing, does forgiving just gave them permission? It seems that way. I think forgiving may only be possible when you can separate yourself from the offender. Otherwise, repeated pain keeps the wound open endlessly.
very well said dear, great emotive poem xx
Wonderful words of wisdom....:-)Hugs
Re: ananchorage
I know what you are talking, if we don't forgive, keep firing back and forth, there will be no peace in this world...
In a family, spouses have to tolerate one another to make it a whole,
In a community, members have to follow rules, put the whole first...
To Forgive does not mean to forget, we learn and find smarter way to handle issues.....
My hubby and I grow up in the same town, but we totally disagree with so many things, as a woman, I would not argue with him publicly, and I would let him know that I disagree, but we respect, we do things in our separate ways, not to force the other side to agree or follow,
Thanks for the feedback.
How true, Jingle, and how completely charming.
awwwwwwww its beautiful ^_^
Love is the most powerful weapon that ends the power of all the others, if we let it. Thanks.
Hi Jingle, I like this post. There is not room for hatred in my heart and I like your words. It is sad to watch the hateful words and constant fighting in our country which is feeding much fear.
that is so true Jingle ... misunderstandings can ruin friendship...
Lovely and oh so true! I think we all would like to be more loving and compassionate.
A wonderful poem, filled with so much truth! =)

So true, Jingle! Thank you!
I really enjoyed this Jingle and it is so very true. It does more harm to ourselves when we do not forgive, it only burdens us with unneeded baggage. By forgiving (not forgetting) we are able to release the negative emotions and find our own peace in love.
Beautiful!
" To love

Very well said .A poem which makes us think again..Yes..we always expects things, never think about how and what we do..Nice poem.
I wish everyone would read your poem and remember their purpose in life, since so many seem to have forgotten. Nice work, Jingle!
Beautiful, Jingle......good poem.
I wish I can be someone like this XD but maybe it can no longer be somehow=P
This is very positive and well written.
Well, I have to say that this is a very uplifting poem. I love how you have phrased it and what the core meaning of it is to me. Thank you for this wonderful insight and your words. Always a pleasure to read your work.
Best Regards,
Laura
