Road To Redemption

Lately I've been thinking of the past I don't know why. Past memories only make me cry. Sometimes I hold so much inside. Carefully in my heart they will be forgotten and a place to hide. So many wounds and unhealed scars. Damaged and wrecked like a compact car. I read the bible as a escape from my nightmares. In my sleep I grit my teeth and pull my hair. Sometimes I wish these memories would go away. To the Lord Jesus I pray that they will disappear. It's been four years of not living in fear. Sometimes we have to let go the past to move forward. That's not being weak or a coward. That is life we either keep living or give up. So keep your head up.

I've read three of your poems, and all three are excellently penned pieces that inspires, enlightens, speak of life and love and simplistic living. Simplicity is beauty. Quite encouraging poems. Philosophic. Peace and blessings.
