Reflections Poem by Ryan Lee Morris

I have found that when I let go
I sometimes have to hide
All the beautiful memories
That I keep inside

I move them to a special place
Deep inside my heart
Hoping, praying that one day
We'll have a brand new start

These memories I do not let go
I hold them very dear
Even if you're far away
To me it keeps you near

The bad things that I know I did
They have there own place too
I reflect on them from time to time
To make me someone new

They're there to try to shape me
To who God wants me to be
For I walked through life so very blind
I 'm grateful I now see

It keeps things in perspective
And helps to to progress
I know I am not perfect
But I want to try my best

The best is what my friend deserves
I know that is God's plan
To make myself her dream come true
To help me be that man

So even if things don't work out
And she goes her separate way
I'm thankful she has helped me
Become who I am today

I bet she'll never see this
But in my heart I know
That God has put her in my life
And she has helped me grow
