When does a man forget?
The crimes of the past go away, and we can finally move on
When is it okay to move on?
When is it okay to leave the past behind and look to the future?
Will my eyes ever close and death not be there to greet me?
When does a man

forget the past and

greet the future
with eyes open and a clear conscious?

The author's comments:
Part Three of a series of poems. First: My Son's, My Boys
Second: When Does a Heart Heal

Based in the characters in "Sons of Anarchy."
Let me know what you think.
