Let Go

LET GO You spend your time worrying about so many things You take a little problem and give it giant wings You let it cloud your senses leading happiness astray You fret and whine relentlessly another ruined day Choose your battles carefully all is not as it seems Let go of the small things don't let them ruin your dreams The little things have a way of working themselves out It really isn't worth your while to cry and scream and shout Sort out all your problems push the tiny ones aside You will feel more joy each day less tears you will have cried Focus on your blessings they will never make you blue Choose a fresh prospective each day, a new view This life is full of mountains but when you reach the top You feel it was worth the struggle you're glad you didn't stop Brush off the petty problems don't let them dig at you Let go and enjoy happiness let each day be new. 4-22-2017 (2nd place - "Be Didactic" contest - 4-24-17)

This is a strong inspiring poem, full of wisdom and understanding, it lifts its message over the words like a warm wind might rattle the leaves on a summer's eve, leaving a smile in its wake. Emile. #7

What a fantastic and uplifting poem Lenna. I know a few people like this who take the littlest thing and give it those giant wings and then allow those wings to create a shadow that they can't get out from under. Facing problems, big or small with a positive attitude is the best way in my opinion. A wonderful poem my friend.
