Remember to Forget

The pain
of past
failure
and sin
can be hidden
repressed
yet harms
our present
poisoning
our body
and soul.

The pain
of past
hurts
and disappointments
unresolved
or unforgiven
continue
to bring
painful
memories
to haunt us.

Yet one has borne
our sin
and pain.

Why carry
what he has carried
for us?

Remember
his pain
for us -
remember
and forget!
