Thoughts In My Head

i long to help children who suffer so much pain,
i want them to see sunshine, and keep them out of the rain,
i have had a varied life, and yes i have felt the pain,
but i know my life has changed, and it wont go back again,
i want to think of the future, and forget about the past,
but forgetting the past , dont really last,
some things i cant remove,  from my head,
and some times i think of them when i lay in bed,
why cant i remove these thoughts from my little brain,
as i wish i could just flush them down the bloody drain

If you feel obligated to take a path, that path can lead to something that results in the meaning of your life can be recognised, and your full potential to be of service to others. This is the only true path for anyone, think with your heart and love with your head. much love brother

Ken, The answer to your question in this most sincere poem is.... Drum roll!..... God has forgiven you, but you have not forgiven yourself. (I assumed you were a Christian... or at least someone who loves heavenly Father and asked for forgiveness.) The past cannot be changed. It is wiped clean. So, when those thoughts come, read the scriptures or sing a song to chase away bad thoughts. God loves you. And so do a lot of people. Lovingly, Dane Ann
