They say it is something
that you have to do
move ahead    into tomorrow
live for today
forget about    yesterdays sorrow.
They say       you must ......  
you must
forget about the hurt      that lasts
but I do not hear them       answer
when I ask them            how
to get          passed         the past.......



If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream...

(big hugggssssss) Oh Donna, I know how that feels and truly there is no answer to that but know time will bring great promises as He has a plan for us all and His love will never fail as He helps us look onward! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Donna, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Donna - So well said. Moving on and not looking back is very difficult - but it can be done. hugs, Chris

Nancy, thank you and hugs.

Paul, thanks.

Chris, well they say nothing worth having is ever easy,
so I guess it's not meant to be easy....but it is worth it
if you can ever get there.  Thanks and hugs.

Gentle Spirit - getting passed the past is difficult but can be done. I believe the hurt goes with time, but the past never leaves, it just becomes more mellow, and one must go on....

Hopefully after having written down your feelings, you are a little bit closer to leaving the past in the past. It is so difficult for us to deal with the present when the pains from the past keep impingeing on our lives. There are no answers, we just plug along with living and have faith that the sun will shine again---and as you know, it always does!


~ Take care ~

Sometimes in the people who share our existance the past is revisited on a daily basis. I hope you rid yourself of some of the past with this write. Very nicely done.

Donna, a question I'm sure we've all asked ourselves at one time or another.  I have no answer other than to say that wisdom often comes through adversity, but that pain lives on and through it we gain strength.  God bless you, my friend.  *hugs*

Earth Angel, yes......the sun always comes back out sometime.  Thank you.

Rose, that is so sweet, thank you for such lovely thoughts....
and I agree if the existance is still shared it is harder to get passed.
Thanks.

Seymour, you sweet man....thank you for that......
it makes sense......that the them......can be oneself.....

Dixie, actually my muse is refusing to return right now
so I can only put a few thoughts into a few words...thanks.

Michael, sometimes I think that.....perhaps you have many answers
to share, and you do this......by just giving the gift of yourself.
You are precious my friend......thank you.
