When Woes Once Had Up And Go Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Isn't the feeling fantastic,
When a past that has been lived...
Can be reminisced without regrets.
And every step forward has made a difference,
With remembered obstacles that had been left...
As a reminder of tests that have become valued assets.

Isn't 'that' feeling to reminisce fantastic!
When each experience remembered,
As a step forward towards a peace of mind achieved...
Is with a happiness discovered and a clarity believed,
To know it had been faith kept to face each obstacle met.
And not the limitations of possessed fear to accept and protect.

IF it wasn't for a faith with me I kept,
I'd be a moaner pushing nothing but woe.
And IF it wasn't for a faith with me I kept,
I'd have more woes to unload.

IF it wasn't for a faith with me I kept,
I'd be a moaner pushing nothing but woe.
And IF it wasn't for a faith with me I kept,
I'd have nothing but woes to show.

Isn't the feeling fantastic...
When woes once had up and go!
Isn't the feeling fantastic...
When woes once held no longer show.

IF it wasn't for a faith with me I kept,
I'd be a moaner pushing nothing but woe.
Yes the feeling's fantastic,
When those woes held up and go!
