I spend most of my adult life*
by the shore
Gazing at the pounding waves
Like life, I see how
they push as they pull
the foundation
that has been laid
The grains of sand
are like splinters of my soul
that have been worn down
with time
Eroding edges
by a mothers' control
a nature dissimilar
to mine
I watch as a child,
too close to the shore
builds a castle in the sand
What the waves wash away
she tries to rebuild
In this I see my childhood
once again
With the setting of the sun,
thoughts come to mind
of my life's beginning
as well as its end
Where the things of the past
I find so hard to forget
and even harder to forgive
I know what I must do
it's there in front of me
Forgiveness can be
my only release
I leave it all behind
as I stand to my feet
*And walk further down the beach...

I have a friend that struggles with forgiveness...
She asked me if I would write something for her in hopes it would help...
I'd like to thank her for her trust in me and the friendship we share...
