Yet Again

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once upon a time,

I had a hard time

saying "Good-bye,"

letting Others

go out of my Life

as we each moved on.

I would

clutch,

I would

cling.

That has changed.

Now I know

such Folks

have been placed

along my Path

as significant Teachers

on our Growing Journeys.

I need to let them go.

We will grow and change

along Life's Path,

sometimes far removed

from where we were before.

To cling to the Old

them or me,

is to cling to something

we were before.

It is to cling

to a pair of shoes

which no longer fit.

I

am ever

in transformation,

as are they.

When I let them go,

I praise the Divine

for their Gifts

in my Life.

I let them go

to become

who they were intended.

And I let me go

to do the same.

With a glowing smile

inside,

I wonder

who will come

into my Life next.

I watch,

I wait,

I am filled

with joy,

love,

gratitude,

expectancy.

The Creator

is at work

yet again.
