Come along

Hello, old friend.

I know.

You don't recognize me.

Many times we have made this trip.

Many times I have brought you back.

For a bit,
  you can remember.

All of it.

All of the pain.

All of the wrongs you have done.

I am trying to help you grow.

So I balance.

Not only the memories of pain.

See the light?
See the joy?

Eventually,
  there is only light.

Not yet,
  still a few more times.

While you wait,
   while you can remember,
   learn.

Just a little longer.

Now it is time.

Another chance.

Try again.

Time to take my hand.

Come along.

Eventually, there is only light,
Not yet, still a few more times.

Almost reads from an angel of death perspective.

Very interesting perspective of enlightenment.

I stretched a bit. I am a firm believer in accepting your own actions. Just looking for the balancing point. Thank you.

intriguing write - finding a path to enlightenment - such a heartfelt poem.

[Jon Roggie]

I hope you enjoyed. It is not easy for me to use so many words. I was stretching. Thank you.

~ there is so much warmth... so much earnestness... so much love... and so much concern and wisdom in these words that they cast a magical spell... that can only result in a very bright light at the end of the tunnel... this poem is a song... truly heartfelt...

[Jon Roggie]

Thank you so much. Trying to expand a little. The mixture of regrets and hope are tough. I had to try.
