Letting Go Poem by Lora Colon
Letting Go
Are you still recalling that dispute
You had long ago with a loved one?
It's time unkind words were rendered mute,
Let go of the reins, and let them run
What torment petty quarrels can dispense!
We say things, then later wonder why,
Hurtful words that never made much sense -
Bind them to swift wings and let them fly
Time is not what heals our broken hearts,
Or brings comfort to a shattered soul;
Gently gather all the broken parts -
Mend them with Love's threads to make them whole
Focus on the things that made you smile,
Words and deeds that made happiness flow;
When sad memories taunt you with their guile,
Raise the window wide and bid them go!
