Forgive them anyway.............................

I wanted to share with you this poem I found on the net, I couldn't find an author for it but I felt that this is how my heart should be--and with time and patience it will be will. The photos pictured in the poem are dolls--by the very talented and gifted Anna Brahms and are part of what she calls "Holocaust Collection". http://www.alisasinternationaldollart.com/live/artists/AnnaBrahms/holocaust.html

People are often unreasonable,

illogical and self-centered;

Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you

of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some

false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank,

people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building,

someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway

If you find serenity and happiness,

they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today,

people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,

and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see in the final analysis.

it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
