Healing Band Aid of Love

Some wounds may run so deep They never fully heal Until you discuss how you feel To the one who wounded you It may not be easy But heal your wounds with a band aid of love. It may not be easy to forgive Especially if it stops you live And takes away a part of you Leaving us sad and blue But sometimes we let things fester Carrying around an uncomfortable stone In our shoe Sooner or later we need to let go And realise the only person The only person who is hurting you now is you/ Don't be top hard on yourself Heal yourself by learning to forgive As Jesus taught us Heal yourself with a band aid of love. This world of ours is full of misunderstanding And too much hate and war We forget what is important Like family friends and being alive And just what we are fighting for. We have to realise we're all far from perfect And as humans we all make mistakes Sometimes we need to grow up And face the truth Life is often what you make We may have have a choice We are so lucky when so many have none We need yo grasp the moment before the moment is gone. Better to live with peace of mind than regret And open your heart rather than shut the door As many a fool may never forget Only to be weighed down with guilt the wages of debt. But as God in his wisdom taught us from up above Heal yourself with a band aid of love. Peter Dome.copyright.2015.

Wow, Peter, your heartfelt sentiments are written with a beauty so true...the wages of unattended guilt merciless. I have loved and lost and love again. I have to be my best fan. But this Universe has blessed me to have love for many. and I'm a fan of you too :), jill
