Forgive

“That slight misdeed of yesterday,

why should it mar today?

 

The thing he said, the thing you did,

have long since passed away;

 

For yesterday was but a trial;

today you will succeed,

 

And from mistakes of yesterday

will come some noble deed.

 

Forgive yourself for thoughtlessness,

do not condemn the past;

 

For it is gone with its mistakes;

their mem’ry cannot last;

 

Forget the failures and misdeed,

from such experience rise,

 

Why should you let your head be

bowed?

 

Lift up your heart and eyes!”
