Letting Go

Letting go became my plan

a phrase learned from a gracious man                                                     

To ease the pain of one I love

Who could not see the light above

A lesson learned through time

I asked, “oh how Do I let go of one I love?”

To stand by and watch the self destruct

Is pain indeed

Years passed and light began to dawn

Upon my love, where will this lead

Time will tell, but I must let go

Allow the seeds of hope to grow

The dawn has now become the day

And progress has been soundly made

One so broken, one so raw

One so beautiful, grows in awe

I try to practice letting go

So hard to do for a while

Needs must, on we Step

Each day she blossoms, each day I smile.
