Letting Go

Letting go
Isn’t easy
A fight can cause a loss of life
Holding on to something 
That meant to be free
Can only cause harm to you and me


Compassion means
Not expecting in return
Instead it is with honest heartfelt concern
A prayer is offered up
Without an ego’s disrupt



Give them to the Lord above
So He may choose a velvet glove
Bring me faith to walk away
Give me strength to this
I pray

Leave my shallow wishes at bay
Create more freedom
Which to relay
Little by little releasing that fear
Until it is made abundantly  clear

This is not an end
Just a new start
For each of our human hearts
