Tragic Past Poem by Gerry Legister

Tempted and tried you want to follow,
The things that everyone does.
But you are plague with sorrow,
Of your tragic past comes and goes.

But that's only because you keep reflecting
On the tragic past that binds your heart,
While the pain in process is ripping
Your hopes and your dreams apart.

Many have tried to counsel you but failed
They have tried in vain to ease all the suffering,
From which all the agonies bewailed
And becomes the lament of time.

You ask God to remove this burden.
And give you peace from the life you are living.
