Dead and Gone

Missing image

The troubles of past are dead and gone,

for into your life God's light has shone.


Although sometimes it's hard to concieve,

all one must do is simply believe.

 

Today has enough strife for itself,

without pulling regrets from the shelf.

 

Strive to keep it in the here and now,

and you'll always muddle through somehow.

The past can't take from you anything,

going there will only sorrow bring.

So keep your chin up and try to smile,

for we are here but for a short while.

 

So just let it go and don't look back,

give life your all without any slack.

    So rue this one for the future and the life for the day you can build on the past as you say is long gone .

    Nice

    I think line 9 would flow better as "without regrets pulled from the shelf" I guess its just a cadence thing or meter.

    Same with line 14 "A shadow is all the past will bring"

    I love this poem. Well done and great advice. Living in the past will poison a soul and destroy a heart. God bless you my dear friend for the wonderful things to think about. God bless you, Mark

    This poem runs so very deep,
    I have always beleived that the past is called that for a reason, we can't change what has already been done, we can only go forward it is not so much what has happened but we gained from it to go forward, I am not one to hang in the past, and If I do it is only for a brief visit, after all I am only humen, but alas
    this poem speaks of just that, moving on and living for today,
    Well done my dear sista well done,
    Love and Light

    Life and attitude!

    When I only saw the title I was thinking, "Sounds morbid". What will this be about?? Should have known better when the author is the Frogzter.
    A lot of positive in here and reinforced on every line. Excellent ending and a lot of your approach to life in here. Nicely done! Jadon

      Thanks my faithful friend for always being so positive...I agree the title seems a far cry from the poem itself... Take something negative and make it positive!
