Acceptance
Why try to bring back pleasure,
Of the past, n'er again?
Never again hold that treasure,
Where for real or your pen.
Look ahead where the future lies,
Walk briskly to your chance;
And not to moan, neither to cry.
When you're there take your stance.
Ahhh, I've given up on the past,
I've made my bed to sleep,
I have no need the past to ask,
I've buried it all; deep.

There was a quote I had heard long ago...the past dies and fades away....I felt then the same way I feel now...never...I personally feel it all make us what we are today and for that very reason I feel it should never be forgotten or buried...but...what works for some, may not work for others and that I can only respect....excellent ink Jerry...perspective seen through others eyes is always a blessing...thank you...

Ah, when I said I had "buried it deep," did not mean that it was gone forever. No indeed, it is there and I go to it often, because that is what makes me get through my days! The fact that I could bury it deep enough so that it never bothered me, but that I could visit it and confirm that I had truly given it a place in hell.

Ah, thanks many, Amelia, for your comment on my poem. Yup, I sure do like your comment, "some people only try to fill up an empty space." That says so much, so very much!
