Life is Letting Go

greyguy

We let go of childhood, its toys and joys, to become older girls and boys

We let go of youth, to face a grownup world and life's truths

We let go of our home, to roam

We let go of friends and lovers to find others

We let go of our children, when they're grown, to be on their own

We let go of our stuff, when we have enough

And when we round the bend, to meet our end

All of it we leave, the past we can't retrieve

We let go of life itself

So know you know, life is letting go

Let it go, just let it go

    WELCOME GG - Love the message in your first poem - the internal rhyme gives it great poetic pace (flow). "The moving doth write and having writ moves on" and so do we ! BRIAN

      Brian,
      Thanks for your comments. I'm not a poet/hobbyist. I don't know if I'll ever get inspiration for another poem, so I won't be social networking here.
