My Heaviest Suitcase Contains My Heart

Teddy.15

 

Having regrets
makes the road forward impossible to walk
the mountain ever so high above the clouds

   impossible to climb

acceptance is knowing that what has been my burden
can now be blown away with the wind of change
laid to rest in a quiet place

under the wild roses

letting go of what was

  looking forward to what will be

“We are all capable”

forgiveness, to myself and to others
aware of what has been, knowing that it’s too late
to turn back that deceitful clock that tricks us all


unable to travel back in time
to the moment before it all changed forever

I’m ever strengthening my mind to just let it all go
mourning those very moments

for the last time

Saying goodbye with a gentle kiss
In the grand hope

I will someday

be able to truly love again.

    Beautifully penned poem Teddy. Regrets are painful, acceptance the first step on the pathway to healing. Letting go can eventually be a sweet release. Easy to say, far harder to do.

      Thank you so much dear Cassie58, my very favourite subject and something I myself have questioned for.most of my life. 🤗 Never easy and never straightforward simply because it's love.

          Forget the bad things in the past Teddy and just remember the good things as you move on into that new love that is there for you.

              Sad but hopeful words containing the wisdom we all need in a world of loss. To let go and be able to forgive oneself then others is one of the most difficult steps in climbing that "mountain ever so high above the clouds". A most beautiful message set in tender words.
