Forget the suffering <br />You caused others. <br />Forget the suffering <br />Others caused you. <br />The waters run and run, <br />Springs sparkle and are done, <br />You walk the earth you are forgetting. <br /> <br />Sometimes you hear a distant refrain. <br />What does it mean, you ask, who is singing? <br />A childlike sun grows warm. <br />A grandson and a great-grandson are born. <br />You are led by the hand once again. <br /> <br />The names of the rivers remain with you. <br />How endless those rivers seem! <br />Your fields lie fallow, <br />The city towers are not as they were. <br />You stand at the threshold mute.<br /><br />Czeslaw Milosz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/forget/
