I'm not going to look back That is why the smile on my face Only looking ahead, that is a fact A happy smile put firmly in place I peeked behind and tears did slide Down my cheeks for no reason at all The dark shadows and no place to hide I can't stand the pain of what I saw Look ahead and feel the sun A smile for all the world to see So many wonderful things yet to be done And lovely sensations waiting for me Black clouds are following behind The gloom there day and night Such thoughts flying in my mind Once again I want to take flight Today a new day and I will be strong Take control of my thoughts and deeds I will only sing a happy song And put away the worry beads Oh why does the darkness creep in Feeling like cold gray mist Trying to cover my every sin My heart like a hard fist I know God isn't cruel I have given this to me So must begin by searching my soul For all the shadows to flee |

There are times when I really understand Lot's wife. *S* The past keeps such a hold on us... it's HARD to keep from looking back, even if the future looks bright... no matter how good our intentions! *S* This is great! [This message has been edited by suthern (edited 02-13-2001).] |

Speaking as a seasoned 'worrier'...this poem meant a lot to me to read! I love the way you helped me remind myself that my attitude has a lot to do with how things go in my little slice of the world. Thank you!! Live...Love...Be grateful for both!! |

Sunshine, glad I'm not alone! Sometimes I think I'm just nuts. suthern, I thought I was the only one with these feelings. If all is going well, I "wait-for-the-other-shoe-to-fall"! Right? |

"Today a new day and I will be strong Take control of my thoughts and deeds I will only sing a happy song And put away the worry beads" I hope to remember your words when I have need, I spend too much looking back at my own dark shadows. Thank you for this poem. WhiteKnight |

Mark, it is a good thing I don't wear a hat much because with your words of praise, my head just got 3 or 4 sizes bigger! And any time you have time, I can listen. Hugs, ME |

Mom...you pen your heart with these finely woven lines and in the process have touched many...you see the magic of this place now I think...the quiet comfort of being among those that never judge...just understand and hold onto your poetry while you climb another rung of the ladder to the sunshine. Love you my mom~ |
