Often
Often I wondered why stages
Of moving went through my life
I realized I needed to forgive
Before starting out right
I needed to let go of things
From the past
If I didn't I couldn't begin to live
The life I could have.
I held on to anger frustration and all
Though it was a set up for a greater
Intense fall.
I needed to move on to be free
From the pain.
It really helped knowing why Jesus was slain.
