Using the Hurt

There was a time when I hurt a lot
Things were so painful for me
Through those times I nearly gave up
but I found a way to be free

I used those memories to show me the way
How to handle things with a new point of view
To use the experience as a learning tool
that way I was sure to get through

From that moment on , my life turned around
with no regrets from my past holding me
I felt so much better and happiness came
I was different and my heart was set free

 

I forgave every trouble and strife that had been

and I thanked God for giving me a test

I felt his answer when I started to pray

and from then on I gave it my best

 

Now I thank God  as soon as I rise

I practice not taking things on

and that technique works amazingly well

you see all my troubles have gone

 

So whenever you feel life getting you down

and troubles are too much to bare

just think about the journey that you have to take

and know that you can stop things right there

 

By knowing it is your journey that day

and all you need do, is see it through

when it is over shut it out of your life

it's a lesson that's meant to teach you

    Great job on this, and you have shared so much growth and wisdom from your life experiences. It is true that we need to remember we are in control of our own lives, and that step by step we can get through anything. I like how you share the importance of learning from our past experiences, and growing from them. Nice job, and I wish you all the best in the contest. Blessings, Patty

    SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!

    It is so true that one sometimes has to experience things for themselves to be able to understand better how others feel and think. There is always a new lesson to be learned, and as we have things both good and bad happen to us we do learn more each time.
