Learning To Change

There comes a point
    when one must say,
I'll change my life
    or die this way.
Forget the past
    mistakes i've made.
Let go the hurt
    my dues I've paid.
It's time I learned
    to move ahead,
And live my life
    before i'm dead.
So watch out world
    'cause here I am,
Now stands a lion
    no more the lamb.

Nicely penned, Sheri, I hope you are as optimistic now as you were in 1997. :) Hugs, John
