What We Need
Remember that one time ~ or two ~
You really, really stupid were?
The times your closest friends unto
Are careful not refer
Because a friend would not desire,
Being fully “on your side,”
Unhappy mem’ries to inspire,
Which hurt already damaged pride?
We all have those bad memories
When might neither woeful we,
It seemed, nor any other please —
Comfort’s blessings never see
We cannot put our falling shy
Of sweet perfection on back shelves
Here’s the simple reason why:
We can’t forgive ourselves
If we for selves, as others, try
Give people what they need to live
Perhaps we’ll learn to, by and by,
Forgive, forgive, forgive…
