Believe (cont'd.)

I thought this poem might coincide with yesterday's thought, seeing as in order to have the strength to believe, often there are things we need to let go of. Letting go can also be a very difficult process, but like believing, it begins with a desire. A desire for something to be different in our lives or in ourselves. Whether it's believing or letting go, the place we'll find that strength is always within.

TODAY

I'm letting it all go today
The sorrow that so heavily weighs
The sadness which upon me lay
I'm letting go today

I'm sending it off on ange'ls wings
To make room for the other things
The things that help my heart to sing
I'm letting them in today

I've held it now for long enough
Allowed my edges to become rough
All but forgetting the power of love
It's leaving me today

Today I'll honor the power of prayer
Dream the things I haven't dared
Strip free of all the coats I wear
I'm only me today

No more wandering aimlessly in the lack
Today I'm inviting myself back
Permission granted to follow my heart's path
I'm coming home today

The healing eyes of love can see
This life holds so much more for me
The hurt goes only if I set it free
Won't waste another day

I surrender the pretense of control
To let what's meant to be unfold
There's magic inside of me I'm told
My gifts I'll seek today

These noble truths are mine to keep
All I've sown must now be reaped
God's tender mercies are running deep
I'm letting go today

xo,
Carrie
