Don’t be saddened of what’s left but only you, <br />And look back the past to dread of tomorrow, <br />Life is not what we own but borrowed to grow, <br />As seed on ground where we once toil and sow; <br /> <br />We linger on this planet’s floor unknown time; <br />Mastered our daily prayers’ delightful chime, <br />To beg His forgiveness as we sinned to others, <br />But the purity of one’s heart is to pardon theirs. <br /> <br />We simply rise in the mornings’ great sunshine, <br />As fresh as rose emits its fragrance of sublime, <br />Indulgence paralytic emotion spilled by pride, <br />As rose, happiness must be shared, don’t hide. <br /> <br />At day’s end, dusk isn’t the world’s darkness, <br />Where above there are glints of stars to wish, <br />Upon the night as we close the lids of our eyes, <br />For tomorrow it brings a new light as we rise. <br /> <br />To let go all things that we could not have, <br />But to keep and treasure those that we love, <br />Life is ours to keep while it lasts its gleam, <br />Till our minds remember no more to name.<br /><br />Efren Petalver Carranza<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-love-walks-away/
