Weep Not For Sins That Are Long Past

Weep not for sins that are long past For they are but a teaching tool Those moments gone, no more to last When you were but a silly fool! With lessons learned, pray you move on Vow to live well, be happy still… With shadows of the past now gone New purpose found, new hope, new will! Your soul is like a raging ocean Bringing forth litter, and debris Crashing waves in constant motion Wipe clean the sand, back out to sea. Empty your soul of sins long past Those moments gone, no more to last!

Empty your soul of sins long past Those moments gone, no more to last! Beautiful message .......God like the persons who repent on the mistakes and ask forgiveness with determination not repeat the mistakes or sin ...So they are a teaching tool...........GREAT MESSAGE in beautiful words

Write/Right on! No use weeping. We've got to learn from our mistake and move on...And then not repeat our errors.... Altogether a great message, poetically conveyed.

Nicely done, it seems we always forgive both others and ourselves, but forgetting - now that is a more difficult reality.
