'Dont Live In The Past...Of A Memory' Poem by Linda Winchell

Don’t live in the past of a memory
All the past tragedies…and pain of your life.
For all the things…that once was
Will only bring memories strife.

God wants us to remember… of course
But to know… just when to let them go.
In order that He can do the work in us
In our lives… that’s needed so.

Wars will come and wars will go
That’s the way the world has always been.
The nature of the sinful heart caused
To bring the world… such painful sin.

But to sit and dwell on what once was
Of maybe this or maybe that you would have changed.
Just look forward to God’s rewards…my friends
And you will never need to look back again.
