A Gift

Christina8

 

The past is the past

I just want to grow

The present is a gift

I want to take it and know

 

That I've lived fully and that

I've loved with all my heart

I think in the end that's what matters

is the love you gave from the start

 

For years I felt stuck

in my pains and sorrows

I'm not a victim, never was

I look forward to my tomorrows

 

I've come to terms with some

things that have happened to me

I am a very persistant person, so

I will live happy,unburdened and free!

                              Good for you girl! Am happy you are seeing the light! Well written too!
                              One thing though: It is true that what matters is the 'love you gave from the start', but what is even more important is that this love is given all life long!
