Poem Artwork





Children have different memories
Of parents who pass away
While some will forgive freely
Others remain bitter each day.

Dead parents can't say "Sorry"
For failures and mistakes
No tears can change life's story
Forgiveness is all it takes.

Recycling and rewinding
The painful things of the past
Do not add to healthy living
And may not make our life last.

Let us close the doors for the dead
Let them rest and we have peace,
Remember the good things instead
And our heart aches and pain will cease.

Cynthia,
A fine piece indeed, and as others have said the final stanza is so positive and so right.

Amen! Your last stanza says it all so well, Cynthia!
Nothing comes from resentment and non forgiveness,the
only one who hurts is the person who can't forgive.

Love,
Eileen

Cynthia,

Powerfully penned ... would our loved ones want us to continue mourning, or to live? Thought provoking excellence.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Hi Cynthia, I agree with Georg here, but I love the last stanza! We have to do it for ourselves, even if there is no good things to remember. Thank you for sharing this power-capsule....

In Spirit,
Bear

Dead parent can't say sorry, but then again, it wouldn't have sound sincere.

Great message in this, Cynthia; well penned!

"Let us close the doors for the dead
Let them rest and we have peace,
Remember the good things instead
And our heart aches and pain will cease".

Profound!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in America, Karen Lynn in Texas. :)
