Poem on letting go

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
Remember: The time to love is short

Letting Go
© By Latavia M. Holzendorf

For the best
Or the worse
I don't know
Everything change for a reason
From the smiles
To frowns
With all the ups and downs
Letting go is the hardest thing to do
Of the person you love the most
But knowing in might be
Only for the best
When you the one that caused all the pain
Wondering why he never left
When he's the one who should have said it's over
But your love for him won't let it go on forever
Because he deserve everything that he giving you
That you never return
All you can do now is walk away
And hold on to the memory
Because you thought being together might make you strong
But now realize you must have been wrong
Because everything you do turn out to be wrong
Wishing there were something you could do or say
But you not sure he would even consider another day
But yet why should he
When you did wrong
As you try to let go of him
But at night he fill your mind so much
All you can do is cry
And awake the next day with him still on your mind
But you should have known it was coming to an end
When you start getting that feeling inside that you about to lose
But like someone said
Love start with a smile
Grows with a kiss
And end in a tear
Which is so true
Because I guess who all love must part
When things been wrong for so long
And letting go is the best

Letting Go (I love this poem the best)

by Judy Burnette

How do you walk away from someone you love
And take the road of friend;
Can you reroute the course you have taken
And start over once again?

I don't really want to let you go
But inside me I know I must;
The times we've loved . . . the times you've left
My heart says stay . . . but it's my mind I must trust.

We have shared so much together
Laughter . . . fun times . . . tears;
Yet sometimes we can't turn back time
We must walk away, and allow ourselves to heal.

I know one day you will be happy
And your soulmate you will find;
I know we each have one out there
Even if for now . . . only in our minds.

May life be gentle with you
May God's best come your way;
And on some quiet tomorrow
You will realize things were better this way.
