You live in a self made prison where yesterday restrains your spirit behind the bars of afterthought, creating scars that time won't heal... still, you bleed never realizing how much you are needed; here in the present in this moment, right now I wish that I could reach you but I don't know how. I give, and I give trying to help you to see past all of the yesterdays so that you can break free from this room of solitude, so dark and dreary void of light you are not confined by the dark of night... I cannot take these steps for you but walk beside you, I will into the golden hues of tomorrow and all that it holds... Where lies the key remains untold; it is for you to find in your own time, and own way where you can release yourself from the self made prison that binds you in yesterday. I could fill a room with reasons why I could 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 wondering why my troubles followed me where ever I would go, then 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 that morning, I arose....{Travis T} [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (03-28-2006 12:54 PM).] |

Where lies the key remains untold; it is for you to find in your own time, and own way where you can release yourself from the self made prisons that binds you in yesterday. ~*~ Sigh. Undone. |

This is awesome Gentle Spirit, yesterday can surly be a prison. Praying your love helps him to find his freedom, believing that it can! :-) |

"Where lies the key remains untold; where you can release yourself from the self made prison that binds you in yesterday." Well stated; but sometimes the key can be, or seem, invisible to the one burdened with the past. Enjoyed this very much. JL  |

Donna, you have a beautiful spirit, but Susan is right. You can only save so many, and the closer we are to someone, the harder it is, most times, to communicate with them and to help them. Like Steven, my prayers, too, that you can save him, and yes, believing (though with much caution) that you can, although knowing that you can't do it without his permission. Hugs - Owl |

"where yesterday restrains your spirit behind the bars of afterthought, creating scars that time won't heal... still, you bleed never realizing how much you are needed; here in the present in this moment, right now" absolutely incredible! |
