Even the greatest love will sometimes bring you pain. <br />Forgiveness opens up the door of love again. <br />I forgave and therein lies the beauty of my love. <br />Had I not forgiven, would I have the memory of <br />The love we shared right to the end; <br />To help me bear that pain again? <br /> <br /> <br />In memory of Maurice<br /><br />Adeline Foster<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/expiation/
