In Your Past

In your past a mistake was made,
deep down inside, you know this to be true.
Yet it is not the end of the world.
You have acknowledged your mistake,
and you have learned from this mistake.
Because you have learned,
you have grown
into the person you are today,
and that person is a wonderful,
 caring, and honest person.
I am glad to call you “friend”.
You have been forgiven by the only one
who can truly pass judgment.
Yet you still judge yourself.
It is time to forgive,
 it is time to live,
and it is time to smile
once again.
