You've heard of the old saying let sleeping dogs lie <br />Which in another way put means leave old grudges die <br />Do not harbour old grudges for as long as you live <br />You may not forget but you sure can forgive <br /> <br />And since little in life ever does seem to last <br />Your friend of tomorrow may be your foe of the past <br />For in life as we know there is no guarantee <br />And your best friend can become your worst enemy. <br /> <br />The past is behind you and let bygones be gone <br />And in life your big challenge is to keep on keeping on <br />True battlers do not falter when the going gets tough <br />And you prove to the World that you are good enough. <br /> <br />An eye for an eye is not a thing to pursue <br />And let sleeping dogs lie that to me seem so true <br />Revenge leads to counter revenge with your past you make peace <br />And the angst in your soul will find it's own release.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/let-sleeping-dogs-lie/
