'falling Leaves'

Let it go 
When it disturbs your peace 
Let them go 
Like falling leaves on a windy day
Respect should come from both
If you give it and don't receive it back
Maybe it's time to let it go
We cannot control what people do 
 But we do have control on how we react

Just like the trees shed their leaves without fear
Sometimes we have to let go of people without fear 
Some are temporary companions on our journey 
Don't drag baggage on your journey that should have been discarded long ago

So true Wilma...an old friend of mine, gone now, said "Jimmy, hold it out in your hand at arms length, fix it if you can, if you can't, release it to God...the square under your feet is your only task, free yourself, jimmy, so you have space to help others...good one Wilma!
