Journey

Self sorrow, pain manifests itself
Don’t let it last too long
Move past it
Or it will consume you

Mercy we cannot understand
When in our hands is anger
Release the clench of retribution
Receive the tears of love

Pride blinds you
It’s the cancer in your soul
Humility gives you the gift
To receive new life

Suffering is misunderstood
The wise embrace it
The foolish avoid it
Immature in stature they wither away

Weakness and surrender
Are the building blocks
[siz8=18]To a wall well mortared[/size]
Cemented with strength of love

To forgive ones self
Is to cast pride down
Accepting ones actions
Embracing love’s humility

I am forever learning
Yet the things of You
Are new and fresh each day
You bring me into the truth

When we release others we release ourselves
And when we imprison others we imprison ourselves
Lord, help us to learn this precious lesson and let go
So that we can rise from the slum and trample the foe

well-penned and thank you for the reminder.
