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...
