There are things I should learn to let go
but I’m either too stubborn or slow
my shoulders droop lower each day
from the chip that I won’t brush away
although I inherently know
there are things I should learn to let go
my defenses are fashioned with pride
the nefarious villain inside.
It’s ironic that I’m dug in here
behind these embankments of fear
there are things I should learn to let go
to be rid of this quarrelsome foe
so the conflict can possibly cease
and perhaps bring a tentative peace
that’s contingent on one proviso—
there are things I must learn to let go.

yep just let em go--easier said than done--but wise to go--great verses :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I would learn to take my own advice - thanks a lot Jack and Lynn.
