Things of the past

Love

compassion

Freedom

laughter

These things

we are all after

dark shadows

come and go

we really have to

let them go

Change is here

its something new

with many things

to see

to come

Like children growing

and when were done

The laughter sticks around for years

sometimes its eats away our darkest fears

I find myself in thought these days

of how to chase away decay

of long ago

and hurtful times

I hate to think

I am outline

I say i have forgiven you see

but if its true than whys it bothering me

The Holidays bring many laughter

These things we seek

I am after

It hurts to know

he has not changed

I think its why I still

have these pains

People say to just let go

But its like when i said

it long ago

that though i will forgive

and try

the past is something

you cant fake the naked eye

My hurt feelings

Drag me down

like a heavy old rusty Crown

I am ready to forgive

and to move on

to bless the life

he lives upon

To show him

who is better

you see

to show him

how much he missed out on me

i will love him

from a distant

but never give him my heart

for braking it

is his work of art!
