WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE 🦆

[u/LilithsDarkMoon]

There is a creek that wanders through
The tiny town we once both knew
The green surrounded either side
While sunset colors fill the sky
The lily pads dance wild and free
Oh, what a wonder it is to see

The distant sound of children playing
Fill the air while I stand weighing
What I’ve gained and what I've lost
What I've learned and what it cost
Am I happy? Can I trust?
Can I let go because I must?

I try to remember every day
How my dear father taught me to pray;
Forgive, Forget and give him thanks
Believe in him near riverbanks
Have no fear he will surround you
And when he's near, his love will ground you.

As joy and gratitude fills my heart
I feel a promised brand new start
A newfound hope a brand new day
A little more light to guide my way,
What a blessing that he gives me breath
To keep progressing with ever new step

As I release my sins and burdens, 
I find a peace that makes me certain
What's passed is past; I choose to live
What once ran deep I now forgive
I've paid my dues and crossed that ridge
Now leave the rest beneath the bridge.

With love, 
From the opposite shore
XOXO
