Recently, I sent this to a friend who was very cross with me...


Let Bygones be Bygones

Come, dear friend,
let bygones be bygones,
and let's be friends again.
Let us forget all that was bad
and retain only the good.
In the book of memory
let us tear up the pages
of unpleasantness
between us, and burn them
on a pyre of love.
Let's start afresh, anew,
and write a brand-new page.
I am sending you a
page of friendship
with Hope written on it.
Please, add the word Love
And colour it with
Friendship.
Come, my friend,
let bygones be bygones,
let's pick up the pieces
and start anew.

LOVE is so strong ...so powerful .... and that's something that keeps us all so alive and with hope .... GOOD ......... G

Wow!! I really like this one, so vey honest and real to life, this one means so much to me you have no idea... wouldn't be easy if you just could say that to anyone and just start over without any ramifications...

I bet an olive tree (and my favourite chockolate cake) on that this friend is cross no more..
Once again a very moving piece born from your hand.
ps. got lost in that photograph, and if they send out a search,-just tell`em you know nothing..

No brownie points for guessing, whether I was able to cajole my friend or not?
