Sometimes we need to take a hard look at ourselves, in a kind way.


Poem Artwork

So many waters have rolled past me

like a never ending flow

sometimes I feel I wish

oh how I wish

when I ponder

on what I let go.

I try to smile

it lasts for awhile

too soon it disappears,

for the what I let go

was of more value to me

than they maybe

will ever know.

Not the right time

this is the wrong place to be

yet in this moment of uncertainty

I could have stayed

not turned

let go,

for now I wish I had

all those years ago

the reflections keep comming back

as if to haunt me

tire me out

fill my head with sadness,

all about

what I let go

what I let

go,

and they may never ever know.

We can't change the past, so it's probably best to just let go and look forward to the future.
