Forgiveness Good News

I have made many mistakes in life
they are yesterdays bad news and today's past;

their memories, now only have value
for tomorrows wisdom.

I am powerless to change past mistakes
nor can I forget those things I've done wrong
having only to learn from those past errors I made,

I can only seek my true self,

in tomorrows new me,

and put my future

in the hands of the Lord.

Author notes

1. Your yesterday's bad news.

THere is many a wise thought behind this one...but you know we are all made up of our own life experiences the good ones the bad ones and the ones that just make life worth living. We move forward but never should we regret any of them for they have helped to make us into the people we are today and why we should not judge others by our own experiences. Excellent take on the prompt

Thank you for the inspirational thoughts for life behind these words. Hope it goes well in the contest.
