Let it ride...

A Poem by Jamestown

Sometimes we must let things go...

Let it ride...

So many trials and tribulations in this fast paced life
we live,

So many grudges held against others for mistakes made
today and yesteryear,

So much love lost for the things that happen big or small,

Time is being wasted and love is drowning in the vast sea
of hate,

I say " let it ride "

If we could use that energy to forgive and move on
we wouldn't feel the suffocation of drowning,

I try to remind myself that most of that suffocating
feeling comes from within,

I have noticed when I let it ride, or in other words forgive
and move forward that drowning feeling doesn't linger,

I have found this easier said then done but I have also
found that when I do so, things seem easier to deal with
when I can breathe,

The enormous sea is filled with hate and the only way to
keep from adding to it is to do our part to not fall into it's
depth,

So like a surfer catching a wave and enjoying a piece of freedom
we should follow this example and find our piece of freedom
on the wave of forgiveness and " let it ride "
