FORGIVE AND FORGET
Sometimes when we’re harmed…
By friend or by foe.
We harbor bad feelings…
We refuse to let go.
Feelings of anger…
Sorrow and pain.
These feelings don’t help us.
They’re all felt in vain.
As a matter of fact…
They can tear us apart.
They dampen our spirit,
And poison our heart.
When done an injustice…
It’s not easy to cope.
By dwelling on it …
It diminishes hope.
It’s not easy to live with…
Pain and regret.
It’s much better by far…
To forgive and forget.
Robert A Mingo (Humanitarian Poet)
Strength in Length
Ive lost the strength to walk and lift.
IM still able to stand strong.
I Thank GOD I can still feed myself.
Though I dont know for how long.
Its strange to watch your body fade.
Knowing the strengths not coming back.
Though somehow IM still growing strong.
Its just the muscles that I lack.
Some days I must dig real deep,
To find the strength to carry on.
There may be someone watching me.
They may remember when IM gone.
Theyll Remember how I didnt give up,
And somehow draw some strength from that.
Theyll remember how I always stood.
When life knocked me to the mat.
Theyll see weather helping or being helped,
I never tried to go it all alone.
I always looked to GOD for guidance.
He kept me in the proper zone.

About the author:
I was born in Minneapolis Minnesota in a tough part of town. Im no stranger to failure, pain, heartbreak or sorrow. It wasnt until being diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy (FSH) that I stopped running from lifes struggles an started facing them.
Ive always seen poetry as a tool for dealing with lifes struggles and for teaching the world some of the lessons Ive learned. Poetry helps me deal with life as it arises. I feel poetry is a gift to be shared with others. Poetry breathes life onto an empty page as well as into an empty heart. Without the gift of poetry I would not be able to truly express myself.
The only person who fails is the person who has given up without giving it their best. Life is like a card game, sometimes we may get dealt what seems like a crummy hand but if we do our best and play our hand to the best of our ability we my just find were holding a royal flush. If we give up and quit we may just flush it royally. Life is not always as it seems
