Only What Is Kind

You said so many mean things to me Even after you were gone, my mind became my enemy Because, the mind never forgets, with the tendency to replay Even things that are not true, through the years, in a day You taught me all about betrayal and mistrust Your jealousy a vengeance, control for you a must Moving on was freeing, but was work to re-build The belief in myself, so I can be fulfilled No, I won't forget, I can't erase my mind So, I build upon new things I learn, always hoping to find - only what is kind - Heidi Sands 10/29/22

We are left with a pile of broken dreams and a broken heart. Carrying the burden of memories that refuse to go away. Try to build on new things, perhaps. Well written, Heidi. Thanks for sharing. (You read my mind)

Great advice -- to others, as well as to yourself. 'A World of Kindness, Build!' (Psalms). Faith and Strength, Gershon

Forget the past - your mind will enhance it anyway - and focus on your future. The season to be jolly is approaching! Aloha!

I understand Rico. The mind cannot be discarded , so easier said than done. We all have memories good and bad. Thank you for the encouraging statement about the jolly season on the way. It certainly is. I hope you have a nice weekend :)

Rebuilding is never easy--but some relationships are not meant to be. I like the uplifting outlook in the ending line, Heidi.
