Best Letting Go Poems

"Letting Go!"

Behind that garden rail
Where worms squirm and roam,
They dig into every bad part of my day
I feel them crawling, making my hide their home
They feast on my will and my dead walking soul.

Slowly I am fading away into a cloud of nothing.
I find myself...

Their lives begin, that special day
Your hardest job, is on the way.
Walking and pacing, all night long
Knowing that one day, they’ll be strong.

Watching them crawl, then walk and run
Treasure each moment, share their fun.
They grow so fast, enjoy each day
For sometime soon, they’ll move away.

Years...

Sitting upon the shore
time seems to move so slow.
Watching waves I adore
as reflecting stars glow

Tonight this night is mine
just me and the mute moon.
Tepid breeze feels so fine,
as birds sing their sweet tune.

Mind begins to ponder,
why life sometimes goes wrong.
Thoughts begin to wander,
fed up of...

Long ago when I was a child my sister died,
Everyday in grandmas arms I cried and cried;
Time ticked and grandma left and I had to say goodbye,
Then when my baby boy was born and he never saw the sky.
Inside I dwelled, asking God why,...

When father died I held onto his cold dead hand,
           then, I let father go to Heaven with an embrace;
though, I knew with me his spirit would always stand,

Little did I know when I was but a child
Ephemeral is life; and all the dreams I’d filed
Through my youth inside my mind would not
Turn out to ever be what I’d once sought.
Instead of shining white, my knight wore black.
Nonetheless, I followed my life’s track,
Going...

We shouldn't live our lives dwelling on problems of the past,
the longer you dwell on them the longer they will last.
You need to turn the page in this busy book of life,
let go of the mental anguish with all of it's painful strife.
Insted of waking...

I tried to keep my love with me
behind a garden wall….
with willow trees and roses sweet
and berries in the fall…….
                         ...

As I lye awake and think of you
my heart always feels so blue.

I try my best to move on, but it's hard to do 
since you've been gone.

Thou my heart feels like it's bleeding, I can't 
stop how I'm feeling.

People say time will heal the...

Letting Go

Letting go...sometimes it happens twice,
Eventually, as life does cast its dice. 
The little ones we raised flew from the nest,
Though for sure, the time we shared was blessed.
Into our lives there came the second chance;
New little ones to share our lives, enhance
Grandparent's joy to...

Last goodbye son it’s time for you to go
Every emotion was there on show
Trying to put on a brave face
Tears were falling; it’s no disgrace
It was time for you to fly the nest
Now time for you to show your best
Going away to study in the...

Love multiplied, your first crying sound
Eyes opening to the world around
To gaze at your newborn face, the sensation
That of peering down the generations
In our lineage, conditions to fear
Now more worried, each passing year
Giving up, choices breaking trust

Girlhood dreams begin to combust
Officer, with whom we discussed

Young...

Little boy with hair in curl,
Pretty as most any girl.
Feed you well to make you grow.
Wishing time was turned to slow.

Watching with attentive eye,
Guarding from the tricks you try.
Climbing in the apple tree,
Falling may you fall on me.

Proud I am to see you growing,
Even though...

Earth whispers
I hear her
I am here to receive 
Nuances of flight and discovery
My senses warm with anticipation

Fragments of hope and desire
Pain and loss
Arrive on moonbeams of broken glass
Shattered dreams sing
Delivering silky threads 
Glistening with seedlings of rebirth

Opening my heart, I close my eyes
Leaning forward into...
