My Blog, my journey… or something like that :o)

the first time i got this material from the backcover of the Graduation Issue of our High School Paper… way back in 1991. And 16 years later, i’m enchanted )(mystified? hehehe) of the poem’s (???) message… it has its own magic that whenever i read it, it brings out a variety of emotions and reflections.

LETTING GO TAKES LOVE

To let go does not mean to stop caring, it means I can’t do it for someone else.
To let go is not to cut myself off, it’s the realization I can’t control another.
To let go is not to enable, but allow learning from natural consequences.
To let go is to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in my hands.
To let go is not to try to change or blame another, it’s to make the most of myself.
To let go is not to care for, but to care about.
To let go is not to fix, but to be supportive.
To let go is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being.
To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes, but to allow others to affect their destinies.
To let go is not to be protective, it’s to permit another to face reality.
To let go is not to deny, but to accept.
To let go is not to nag, scold or argue, but instead to search out my own shortcomings and correct them.
To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires, but to take each day as it comes and cherish myself in it.
To let go is not to criticize or regulate anybody, but to try to become what I dream I can be.
To let go is not to regret the past, but to grow and live for the future.

To let go is to fear less and love more

my head in a jam cant take you off my mind
from the time we met I’ve been beset by thoughts of you
and the more that I ignore this feeling
the more I find my self believing’
that I have to see you again

I cant let you pass me by
I cant let you go but I know
that I’m much too shy to let you know
afraid that I might say the wrong
word and displease you
afraid for love to fade
before it can come true

like a child again
I’m out and lost for words
how can one define a crush combine with longing
longing to posses oh so dearly
and I’m obsess with you completely
I’ll go mad if I cant have you

I cant let you pass me by
I cant let you go let me say
the things and the words to let you know
I would rather say the awkward words than to loose you
afraid for love to fade
before it can come true

afraid for love to fade
before it can come true… 

thanks be to God for the Gift of Music…
