"No more looking over my shoulder,
no more hanging on to the past
no more, filling up my tomorrows
with yesterdays sorrow;
no more...........looking over my shoulder."

Teaching and reaching
message inspiring strength,
when songs are speaking.


Tag along by adding a haiku, senryu verse and part
of a song that lends it's wisdom....
(please remember to give credit to the author/singer)

{in quotes written by Michael Peterson, sung by Travis Tritt}


It's better than I could have planned..
it's made me who I am...
{Trace Adkins}

"I could chill a room with reasons why I would not give forgiveness
To the people who had selfishly left me a wounded soul
I kept dragging 'round those memories
Like a ball and chain behind me
Wonderin' why my troubles followed me wherever I would go
Oh, but one night, sick and tired of being sick and tired
I realized forgiveness was the only open road
I swear I heard those shackles snap
The moment that I took that path
I never have one time looked back since the morning I arose
I'm singing no more looking over my shoulder......"

Eternal truths gained
sharing of wisdom through song
soothing weary souls.


"Peterson/Tritt"
more fuel for thought....*grinz*

Times been a wastin' for far too long,
You cut out my heart for a cheap country song.
I never saw it comin' when you left that day,
For your lyin' cheatin' heart, now you're gonna pay!

Okay, here's another one with a more positive spin on it ~ which is actually more my style! lol

The dreaded time had come
for the parting of our ways,
In the years we had together
There were endless joyous days.

I'll recall all the memories
That made me feel glad,
And toss away the dark ones
That made me feel sad.

Now I bless you as you leave,
May you find what you're after.
But if you break another heart,
I'll hang you from the rafter!

~ There now, as Church Lady on Saturday Night Live would say, "Isn't that special?!?" lol

Huggums,
Lindy Lou
