I recently came across a poem that really touched me and I want to share it with you. I found it very empowering, and a reminder that I sometimes need to release and let go. I hope it brings as much comfort to you as it did to me.
As Time Goes By (by Donna Ashworth)
As time goes by,
You will loosen your grip on that rock,
The one you always thought was home,
And you will realize that home is not a place,
It’s a state of mind.
Let it go.
As time goes by,
You will learn to see yourself more clearly,
The girl who was always too much of one thing,
And too little of another, was actually everything she needed to be.
Let her out.
As time goes by,
You will let the simple things become the big,
And you will allow the big things to become the simple,
And that readjustment will be,
The day you really start to live.
Let it be.
As time goes by,
You will be forced to say goodbye many times,
And your soft little heart will shatter but,
It will still beat and that will bring you,
All the purpose you need.
Let it beat.
As time goes by,
You will stop choosing wealth over peace,
You will stop choosing money over time,
And you will see that the treasures you need,
Are in the smiles and the laughter.
Let them in.
As time goes by,
The moments you remember when your life flashes past,
Are never the awful memories my friend,
It’s the joy,
The summer nights, the lazy days with loved ones,
The midnight chats, and the morning hugs.
Let them happen.
Let them all happen.
I would love to know your thoughts and feelings about this poem. Please feel free to comment below.
