The gift that was once dear and priceless,
Now remains a warning relic of betrayal;
The reminder of a friendship, loveless
It stands as a symbol of my devastating trial,
The wounds of which have healed almost well,
Forgiveness having stayed to ring its kindly bell.

Thank you…You are right! We often do not understand why things turn out to be the way they do in our lives..But sometimes, the unhappy moments and turning points teach us the greatest lessons too. Forgiveness is such a lesson that life has been teaching me for a while now.
