I gave away the worry
So that you would ease my head
And bagged up old tattered dreams
Placed in curbside pails
I changed my address and attitude
Relocating to a pretty parcel
Where everything you desired
Was planted in New Earth

Near a church door
And donated all those thoughts of
Staying a prisoner to lonely
With a worn out pair of shoes
To be resoled...

I liked this. An Excellent way of turning over a new leaf. It is easier spelt than done. it try it all the time. Sometimes i overcome. Sometimes i stay exactly where i am, And bagged up old tattered dreams Placed in curbside pails.. I left the longing for yesterday Near a church door clever, meaningful writing.
