A Childhood Memory

One child memory brought much pain Innocence lost, hurt was my friend Love in itself was a hard strain Until hope shows up Slowly sadness came to an end Joy is lives here now, it'll remain But the past is there, why pretend Took me some time to comprehend That I must not let my past reign Sometimes I self doubt and offend Until hope shows up 2-9- 19 Contest: Writing Challenge Sponsor: Dear Heart

Hi Alexis, we all remember our past as it is very hard to erase something that has happened from our mind - to forget is almost impossible but to forgive yourself and who ever else is easier, then you can go forward! Passionate write - poetry hugs, Jennifer.

It's almost impossible not to let the past have some effect on our lives, Alexis. As you describe so well, sometimes we have to take control and push sad thoughts aside. Not easy, but often it's the only way to cope. Very nice! Hugs, Carolyn

A memory from our past can leave us shaken for sure. But hope overcomes our fears eventually. Good luck. Tom.
