Notes About The Poem

Rescue Me

Rescue Me

Yesterday is gone away
I look but all I see.
Are dreams left for tomorrow
and things that used to be.

I tried I cried sometimes denied
the things that I once wanted.
Living in the yesterdays
by which I'm sometimes haunted.

Carried now up in the clouds
that float so high above me.
I learned from the bridges burned
the time has come to love me.

Cast my burdens in the wind
and leave behind my sorrow.
To be the man I hoped to be
just one more chance tomorrow.

Letting go of tragedy
and breaking chains that bound me.
Reaching for what lies ahead
so happy that it found me.

So I see the setting sun,
I stand to see it rise.
I watch it all both rise and fall
no teardrops in my eyes.

Holding on to hope somehow
like a ship that's lost at sea.
That at last the time has come
someone might rescue me.

Edwin C Hofert

Richard Lamoureux August 19, 2015 at 8:16 AM Letting go of the past and living the now is a very precious gift. I'm glad to hear you are okay. Edwin Hofert August 19, 2015 at 12:23 PM I am at best just a work in progress. It was only a couple years ago I realized what clinging to my past was doing to me. I am making huge strides in getting beyond it thanks to the people that care. Still. There are days..... :)
