Reasons

Reasons. So you say your past has found you It don't want to let you go. Come and walk with me awhile there's something you should know. You see him standing over there? Do you recall you broke his heart? The lesson that he learned was to make a brand new start. See the girl with freckles you bullied her in school. She learned to rise above it she turned out pretty cool. See the one you thought you used to help you make it through. What it is you failed to see is they were using you. Every road you ever traveled to make it through a season. Each and every thing you've done all happened for a reason. The fact that you are sorry you needn't bear it any longer. Each mistake along lifes way makes someone even stronger. You made amends along the way you've owned up to the shame. The memories that haunt you don't even know your name. So take the guilt you harbor and put it on a shelf. There's no future in the past it's time to forgive yourself. Edwin C Hofert
