Notes About The Poem

- Nothing -

~ Nothing gets through a closed vault ~ quote by poet

                   Let the past bury its dead
                   a life filled with regret, hesitation or hatred
                   Be a constant source of forgiveness
                   to love and be loved back
                   The tongue is mighty,
                   careless words create strife

                   Unaffected, is a heavy cross to bear
                   if you wish peace of mind
                   Life is just a weaving
                   waiting for flowers to bloom
                   in diverse colors that variety the landscape
                   Meet me with a smiling face
                   Your path of obstacles will be strewn with love
                   A gift for your empty hands
