Conclusion

Here is an old poem of mine I found on my walk down Memory Lane. Finally having the boldness and courage to share it with this blogsphere, I've decided to post it.

Hello beautiful, that's what you'd say

Beautiful

In the first text of my everyday

With every greeting, and every goodbye

Beautiful

It wasn't long when I started not to mind

High as a balloon, yet you claimed you were clean

I believed you

How could I be so naive?

Oh those eyes, so dark and deceiving

Glazed over, red

Careless and cheating

One day I caught you, that day it was done

No more fighting,

Time to shun

"I'm waiting for faithful, I'm waiting for true"

My parting words

"Obviously not you"

I hurt and I shunned, and I shunned you some more

But what I didn't know

That's what I had prayed for

One day you came and knocked on my door

Forgiveness you wanted

But I couldn't grant what you were asking for

Now it's long overdue, but I'm here to say

I forgive you

No more shunning, no more hurt, no more blame

A part in God's plan, I guess it's His way

To teach us these lessons

Surrender, trust, and to obey

We can start over, no more illusions

Fresh, new

Forgive, forget, conclusion.
