A Needed Decision

Yes, bad memories of the past do tend to haunt us, my friend - you've captured it perfectly

Once burned, many of us fear allowing love to enter our hearts again, Russell. I do try to put the past behind me and move forward, but it isn't easy, my friend. Terrific choka! Love, Carolyn

Enjoyed reading your work...I am reliving the past..Cleaning out the basement which has stored many years of memories..Good to see the idea in print..Thanks for the kind review of my work..Sara

Pain sometimes leads to gain...now that you have had it, gain your strength and move to a higher plane. There is much happiness to be enjoyed. (And thank you for being a community builder and for unselfishly sharing your time to read and encourage poetry on this site. My life took a swift new direction about 8 months ago, and I have not been able to reciprocate. My thanks go to every community builder who enjoys poetry and encourages other poets, like I once tried to do. I love you…all! Lovingly, Dane Ann)

It speaks to me Russ, that last line won't leave me alone.

every one person need to read this and make a decision

This feels almost like a contradiction. Must relive the past, but it gives pain? Did I get that right, Russell? Let me see if you have any other new postings.
