Yesterday is gone... <br />soon I'll face a new tomorrow. <br />Today is my reality... <br />no regrets and no sorrow. <br /> <br />So many a times... <br />I have wanted to go back. <br />Back to a place, to a time... <br />to a moment to extract. <br /> <br />But what purpose does it serve... <br />to live in days gone by? <br />Afraid of what I see in today... <br />in yesterday I hide. <br /> <br />Without thought to the present, <br />I cling to the crest of a dieing wave. <br />It's one precious moment in time... <br />that at all costs I fight to save. <br /> <br />What I forget when I cling... <br />is that my moment has passed... <br />and all that I'm clinging to... <br />is just a moment in the past. <br /> <br />What was...was... <br />and in my mind will always be. <br />Today I let go of my wave... <br />and it rolled back into the sea. <br /> <br />What's left of my moment... <br />is a memory that's all mine. <br />A memory to cherish always... <br />of a precious moment in time. <br /> <br />There is no regret in letting go... <br />in letting go I can live in today. <br />What is...is today, it's my future... <br />and my past is no longer in my way. <br /> <br /> <br />Dedicated to one I love... <br /> <br />Copyright©2004 Shelly Price <br />All Rights Reserved<br /><br />Shelly Price<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/letting-go-7/
