Ghost

Ghost
   
Living with ghost of yesterday's past

holding on won't bring them back,

moving on doesn't mean you forget,

but allows your broken heart to heal.

Keep the good memories, Let the bad

good go because there's someone out 

there that needs what's lifted of you.

Pull yourself together, Dry your eyes,

let go of yesterday's past, love what's

in front of you before it's to late, and

become ghosts we wish could have back.

i agree with you Gail, holding on to ghost will not bring anyone back, but we can still hold onto their memories.

Truth spoken but sometimes truth is hard to accept. I know now that the good memories of my family who have gone on to their reward are uplifting, but I still miss them. Thanks for sharing this one. Sara
