They Were Pink I Think

I dreamed last night of elephants Gaily dancing around In a vision of the night these pachyderms and thoughts began to resound In one scene a card came in the mail an elephant in party hat Inside in beautiful scrolling script it said I,ve written to tell you that You see I am starting to drink to In hopes to make you think Then a happy song began to play As music to his ears That flapped like bed sheets in the wind The moment it appears I hear you've carried a grudge he sang In vibrato let it go the life giving music of God's love Strike the band let it Once more flow For it cannot reside in this place How apropos an elephant known to never forget brightly placed on a true vision board a new track my mind to beset I forgive you,I release you I have set you free You carry now with you no cumbersome baggage from me Nor I from you we two are free With unscaled eyes clearly to see What days new dawning will trace That we will set down in indelible ink It truly boils down to intention I think With this I wish you the best

Vickey,what a profound message for the New Year. To forgive and move on is a gift; we all need to give ourselves. Life awaits us and baggage only holds us down. A beautiful message we all need to carry throughout our lives. Blessings, Paulette

Vickey that elephant was on to something. Forgiving someone is one of the hardest things to do. I have struggle with this for years. We all have been betrayed at one time or another. Forgiveness and forgetting is a very difficult process. I enjoyed reading this truth from you. Hope you are well and wishing a blessed New Year and good health to you and all you love...
