If I could rid my life
Of trash that I have gathered
How light my footsteps would be
If I could clear my mind
Of dreams that have been shattered
How hopeful tomorrow would be
If I could just forgive
Past hurts that did not matter
Forgiven my sins would also be
If I could only count
The pains that I have scattered
Repentance would set me free
If my past could just let go
Of a present so torn and tattered
A joyful future for ever will be
If ... ... ...
If I could keep my head
When all around me
Are losing theirs
And blaming it on me ... ... ...
I'd be the only one needing a haircut.
Did you write this with me in mind?
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Victor!
I wish you a wonderful year ahead, Lulu, and the ability to let go the past.

Profound.
ReplyDeleteA superb reflection at the close of one year, at the opening of the next.
Happy new year to you, Victor ...
Thank you, Linda. I think I need a haircut.
DeleteIf ... a picture is worth a thousand words ... is that why so many people take selfies on their cell phones?
Wishing you and yours a great New Year. God bless.
This is brilliant, Victor, and as Linda noted, a perfect reflection as the New Year draws near. Yes, I think there are a lot of us who feel like we're the only ones needing haircuts . . .
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you!
