Moving On

The seasons have changed Time rearranged Our thoughts and memories Words unspoken Dreams unopened In mind twisted parodies Wonder in thought Was it all for naught Years of toil and sweat Tears we shed For living and dead Can we forgive and forget Was happiness tasted In years we wasted Ironically bittersweet Cutting our losses Bearing our crosses Unwilling to accept defeat an original poem by the "poemdog" Daniel Turner

Perfectly penned and perfectly captures your fallen friend's mindset. It's exactly Right that preceding thoughts of defeat are thoughts of what for and time wasted. Those are hard to put to bed sometimes - appreciate you sharing with me

There is no magic solution, Phillip. It's simply just telling yourself Ok that's done, what's next? Life goes on. You have a choice, go with it or get left behind. It's just that simple. I appreciate you taking the time to read and hope you find the inner strength to keep moving:)
