To Have And Let Go

WriteBeLight

Guess I’m off the hook,

Not my idea, though.

Not my decision,

To let it go.

 

I didn’t mind,

The responsibility.

Was never a burden,

Or hardship on me.

 

I’m now free to do,

Other things I want.

Not having to worry,

About what I cannot.

 

I will miss the time,

Got used to it.

Now an empty space,

Where nothing fits.

 

So, turn the page,

Close the book.

No more chapters,

To write and proof.

 

I’ll grab some paper,

Start fresh, a page,

Never look back,

On what has aged.

      Thanks HONEY we all have memories that we need to never forget but we must put them on the back-burner and let go. We have a saying "Let go and let GOD" ! Without God in my life I would never have the inner strength to MOVE ON ! Thanks for sharing ~ Hugs ~ BRIAN

      • WriteBeLight

                So inspiring this telling poem - -moving on is ever a challenge.

                • WriteBeLight

                  Yes. I wish I could make it easier for some, but that must come from within. Thanks Fay!

                  Life is not a book where you turn the page and find out what's happening tomorrow. It's like a journal where you fill all the pages (thought for the day).
                  You are absolutely right about striking a new attitude. Live life to the fullest, no boundaries except those of your soul. Write a new page every day. Great ideas, great poem - Phil A.

                  • WriteBeLight

                    Great insight and advice Phil. Thanks so much!
