Letting Go

I hold on to my memories
Review things from my past
Sometimes they speak "release me"
Never meant to last
Life has a way of moving on
In the midst of changing days
I find myself just letting go
In the mending of my ways
There will be things that remain
They were truly meant to be
Embroidered in the fiber of being
Not meant to be set free
Release the pain you sense within
Those scars  from love gone bad
Rejoice in what will bring you joy
And cast away things sad
Letting go of yesterday
Today you have no fear
Enjoying life from here and now
It all becomes quite clear
We all let go to find release
In all the  things we do
It helps in finding inner peace
Embracing what rings true
