Not Winning

by Michael J Falotico


                                                I wish I could hold forgiveness in my hand,
                                               and sprinkle it over lives like grains of sand.
                                                   Maybe some may reach a certain few.
                                                 So then they might know that I hurt too.
                                          Guilt and anger drain our soul for new beginnings.
                                   Regardless of what "Charlie Sheen" says we're not winning.
                                                              Only covering sinning..

Sometimes we try and mask it that's why it doesn't come out quite as clearly. I struggle with that too. Okay that's just my two cents again.. I love this reflective write of yours Michael, enjoy the day ahead :) love Wilma

You are far more intelligent than Charlie Sheen, Michael. He thinks he can cover his sins. People like you wish only for forgiveness to begin life again on a better footing. Very profound, my friend! Love, Carolyn

Anger and not forgiving take up so much of our energy....it is so much easier to be open minded, tolerant, and forgiving...

Sometimes I wish I could speak as well as I could write.. never really comes out the same when read with ears not eyes... Just my thoughts...
