The Trial's of Life

The trial's of life Child I once was, with no sin's, no trouble's. Then came the outside world, with good and bad rolled up in one. Choice's put in front of me, having no idea of what to choose. I grew quick and fast, making bad choices in my life, trying to make good ones. Then came the first trial of my life, my mother with tears in her eyes and sadness in her heart That condemned me to a life of solitude, with the mental anguish of the hurt I put her through. A child no more; An adult I am, ready to embark in a life of dismay, more trials to face: Guilty I am of my past. But now to face a trial of life and death O: I will lose the one thing that means the world to me. Can I control my sanity? Can I be strong? I do not know, guilty i am of all I done. The trials of life..... Payment in full..... Written by Gina Montalbo 05/15/2014

We do treasure those we make memories with but we also try to make good memories with them and with others so we can remember and others can remember us, it is our history of our family we build. love eve

:) great touching write.. our destiny and whatever we can become lies in our hands: decisions and actions we'll both do, and of course we must also ask for God's grace that by HIs grace and love all what do is align to His will and for His greater glory.. :) GBu from olive.. :)

They say, we all grow up to become our parents, but, I have not made the same mistakes that my mother made. I learned more from her than she ever taught me.... We do have control over our destinies if we stay strong. Your words are very deep, soulful, and expressive. An amazing write, Gina!

This has brought tears to my eyes, the apples doesn't far from the tree, sometimes some of us simply need more time to learn from life, learn from out mistakes, that's what growing is all about. Also as we grow older, we learn what is truly important in life. For this you should feel blessed and happy, not guilty at all!

The most difficult task is to grant ourself a pardon for past transgressions. Sometimes we become more compassionate as a result of someone else forgiving us. For me accepting the forgiveness of my Savior has given me the capacity to forgive others. I can think of no greater gift. He pronounces you innocent and Loveable. I hope you see yourself through Jesus's eyes. I enjoyed this heart felt piece Gina.
