"To err is human,
To forgive is divine."
To forget is impossible,
For the pain is all mine.
Why this is true, is a mystery.
One never to be solved.
Only there to perplex,
And to remain sadly unresolved.
For me the saying
Should really read,
To err is a given,
To forgive is a need.
If only I/we practiced,
What we preached.
A higher level of humanity,
Could be reached.
opening quote by Alexander Pope

Thanks for the follo. Yep my wife says I should try being pregnant. Seems it's not a walk in the park. And I say I'd like to if not for the small issue of biology. Great to come across someone in the US who like the Stereophonics and the Verve.
Forgetting is Impossible...this is so true.
Visiting via SITS.
So very true. I think I can forgive the mechanic in Chicago for misdiagnosing our car's malady, but don't think I'll ever forget...
I believe in we forgive but never forget. Loves it.
BTW, Mrs. Scribe has just named you a Superior Scribbler. Please come by to collect your accolades!
This is amazing, I think Mrs. Scribe is right to give you the accolades, you've been in a v. poetic mood lately!
thanks Fer*Cambe and Melissa B. I am very honored and as soon as I figure out how to do the links I will post and pass on the award :-)
I love this; it is so true.
To forget is impossible,
For the pain is all mine.
