Letting go

Letting go

I write this poem to my dad,
Although it makes mad

And also sad,
To find out you were nothing but bad

You wrote a poem similar to this,
In different circumstances

Having people thinking,
You were the only one hurting

I am attempting to let go,
But will I ever though 

Letting go, of you S.T

Memories At Her Funeral

 
I have lost many loved people in my life
and I live with my forever grief
the love lost that hurts the most to me
was my sweet mother's sad death 
my anchor and safe harbor
she always encouraged me to write
to be the best I could be
and she taught me gardening
now, my mother tends God's heavenly garden

mother was so full of joy and mirth for life
she was kind to everyone she met
had not an enemy in this world 
but she got sick- sick for years
she faced illness with courage
I was proud of her each day
then, one day things went wrong
she was in the hospital
on a life support machine
and I said, please doctor turn the machine's off 

I knew my mother and how she wanted to live
it was not on a life support machine
I cannot explain how hard it was 
but, I felt God holding my hand
and then, she was gone from me
like a bird she flew straight to heaven
for days I was just an empty shell
as whispers flowed- you can do this
and I taught you to be strong daughter
so, I lifted my head up greeting the people

                           who came to bid Mom goodbye

Letting Go Of Past Mistakes

Pictures there upon the wall, each person once held me dear.
At times we were living together, now not one lives near.
Each has a life they must live and thoughts on which to ponder.
My life goes on, I grow old and still I can’t but wonder,
How different things could have been, if love we didn’t squander.

It’s sad to know the errors I’ve made, the times my choices were wrong,
The love I’ve felt but couldn’t show, for I had waited too long.
The times I couldn’t be where they wanted me to be,
The pain and suffering they couldn’t see,
They didn’t know the authentic me.

I wish them all, love, peace, and joy, in the lives that they are living,
And hope someday they’ll learn to forgive as they have been forgiven.
I hope they’ll know in their heart of hearts and deep within their soul,
How much I love and pray for them, as all of us grow old. 
None of us can truly know how other’s lives will unfold.

Letting Go

Like sand held in my hand,
I know I squeezed too tight,
Grain by grain you will drift away,
And with wind take flight.

I'll keep my hands wide open,
I'm stepping to the side,
So when you look about you,
Your space is open wide.

She Was the Story, He Was Just a Page

He loved her
like the last day of autumn —
knowing she'd leave,
but holding on
as if his hands could change the season.

She wasn’t just a chapter —
she was the entire book
he never finished,
because he kept rereading
the parts where she smiled.

He built a world around her absence,
talked to her like she still listened
in the silence of 3 a.m. walls,
replied to old messages
just to feel alive in the ruins.

But to her,
he was a moment —
a page she turned
without reading twice,
a sentence that never made her pause.

He broke quietly,
in places she never looked.
While she moved on,
light-footed,
as if his love was never heavy enough to hold her.

He was waiting
in the story she left behind.
And she —
she never looked back
to see if it ended.

The Art of Letting Go

A leaf lets go mild,
moving down through brilliant shine~
no war, no regret.
Even parting has its joy,
when the weather knows its time.

Letting Go

The feeling of letting go...
Letting go of what became the new norm
Letting go of my recent familiarities
Letting go of work which I live for at the moment
Letting go of control of what I seem to feel I have under control
Letting go of that comforting feeling of friends being in the surrounds...

Then I come to the realization I need to breath...

I now need to let go of my anxiety 
I now need to let go of my control 
I now need to release what's holding me back 

I am welcoming my life I have 
My wife and children awaiting me in anticipation 
The fresh air and beauty of nature.

Elegy for the wounds that raised me

Do I fear you, thank you, 
or hate you for hanging round. 
I fear I'd been somebody else
who stood on solid ground. 

I thank you, cause you made me this, 
but I hate the reasons why. 
I fear it might just free my soul
when you finally say goodbye. 

I hate you for staying here this long. 
Thank you for being stable. 
I fear the day you leave, 
Kane's time, I'm not Abel. 

Goodbye, it's time, 
at least I hope, 
I pray that you'll go quietly. 
My greatest loss, 
the quietest piece
the part that hopes you'll fight me. 

I’ll say this truth, 
Là Je M’amuse, 
I feel it’s almost over. 
That murder smile,
the haunting fact
a grin that’s Grimm, all over.

Absurd to see 
to sink so deep, 
and disappearing tears. 
That day and night unfiltered rot
 
goodbye, forever, cheers.

"Don't let the scars in your heart and
soul define who you will be in this life."

In
order 
to move on
one must go back
so, I turn each  p a g e
of my 'tattered' past life
to look at each sad  f r a g m e n t
each grief, each hurt, and each sorrow
and I will face them and let them go
I will  s c a t t e r  each one into the   w

Letting Go, Trusting You

Everything feels like it’s right,
There’s no reason to take flight,
Yet inside, it’s not quite right,
Still feels heavy, not quite light.

I said “yes,” or so I thought,
But something keeps me standing still.
I want to give You all I’ve got,
Yet part of me resists Your will.

You see me trying to let go,
But there is still something below,
A weight I can’t quite shake,
A chain I have yet to break.

Forgive me, Lord,
For holding back my soul.
This fear is like a rope;
It is tied tight, out of control.

But nothing is too hard for You.
In weakness, You make me strong.
In sadness, You bring comfort;
In You, I belong.

So I’ll release this lingering fear,
Though the path ahead’s not always clear.
Your plans remain above my own;
In You, my trust is fully grown.

You provide, sustain, and heal.
You fill the gaps I try to conceal.
You called, You chose despite my doubt;
Who am I to shut You out?

So here I am; I trust You, for real.
Lead me, Lord, and shape my will.
I long for more of only You,
More of You in all I do.

Pursuing and Letting Go

I run after a shadow,
not quite mine,
but one I want to be.

Perfect in my eyes,
not so perfect in others’.

Trying to change
because of judgment
you’d never expect.

In fact, it is true
people whisper and hate.

But years will pass,
and they will learn
their own flaws
are just as clear.

We all chase shadows,
sometimes close enough,
but some dreams
aren’t meant to catch
and that’s how we grow.

One day,
realization hits
and you finally see
how perfect you are.

Judgment comes and goes,
but you live once,
so ignore the flaws
others create,

So, become the better version
only you can be.

Let It Be

I gave my heart, it bled so deep,
Tried to hold on, but couldn’t keep,
Nights were cold, tears fell like rain,
Whispered low, let go the pain.

I searched for love, but it slipped free,
Flickers lost where light should be,
Through all the hurt, I learned to see—
Maybe sometimes you just gotta let it be.
