A Heavy Shadow

The weight of what I haven’t done far outweighs my past Those things left vacant on the shelf of what I left for last Excuses linger as empty choices following behind Reminding me of what I’m not in content — and in kind (Dreamsleep: February, 2025)

We can only control the present. Important things are people and the relationship you build with them, of course the most important is the one with Jesus Christ! Enjoyed your poem!

Nicely said. I am that way. I have a lot of good intentions but a lot of empty shelves.
