Let It Die

Once on a tranquil day in May
When all was said and done.
We should have forced ourselves to " let it die"
For no one could have won.

Most things are better left to lay
To rot like old shoe leather.
For at the end of the day the loss of 
a friend will make one feel no better.

So " let it die " let it go by way,
of the bright yellow orange setting sun.
Its a burden to carry if only we tarry,
Taking us one by one.

So what ever we do, always be true 
As life makes us stand tougher.
"Let it die " i say, its better that way
For the anxiety will make us to suffer.

PS RAy..The living need our love and attention.lest we forget, they are still on the planet.))) Life should not be an ongoing funeral courtage.. is but death can be a big hook, we can get lost in, and draw others into. Hey there are 30,000 piets here alone? Panagiota Tememember that o,d son. A time to be born, a time to die, and a time to let go of weeping. We all have our own season. Then we are gone. Let go! God has bigger plans for them. Heaven is work…Sorry, folks. But your employer is God, there. No hanging out with past relatives. MST think that.Panagiota

We think that holding things in our hearts and mind is the solution but the truth is letting go is the cure. We have to accept that things have already happened and we have to move on. Keep writing
