Forgive

Let it go
Don't wait too long
Take a deep breath
We're moving on
Let it go
The regrets you made
The pain you caused
The price you paid
Let it go
The hate you feel
The wrong you did
This time, for real
Let it fall
The grudge you hold
The hurt you held
And left untold
Let it be
It's in the past
What never was
What could not last
Let it go
The life you lived
It's time to move on
And learn to forgive

A Barbed Wire Fence

These pages are white

Waiting to be filled

But my thoughts stand captive

My heart is still

I wait for a feeling

But instead I cry

I feel so melancholy

And I don't know why

I think of innocence

How it never lasts

Of childhood memories

So far in the past

I hate the world

The pain it brings

I want to be young again

I want it always spring

I hate confusion

Deception and lies

I hate fakeness

I hate goodbyes

I just want life

To be happy and good

But goodness is mocked

Happiness misunderstood

I guess it's all meaningless

Nothing makes sense

It's like trying to climb

A barbed wire fence.

Life in Death

In a casket

Clothed in black

Weeping tears

Cannot call back

The silent form

That lies so still

For death itself

You cannot kill.

Immortal beings

That we are

Find ourselves

Not so far

From the door

Of life and death

When we shall draw

Our final breath.

But is there hope

To be found

After we

Are in the ground

Is there life

After the grave

Is there one

Able to save?

I will not fear

The grave so cold

I will not fear

Growing old

For I know

That Jesus waits

For me at

The pearly gates.
