Poetry: Past, present and future

Help me to see past my present pain,
And trace the rainbow through the rain,
Let me see beyond the hurt and the sorrow,
And catch a glimpse of a better tomorrow,
As with my inner struggles I cope,
May I find a new sense of on going hope,
As the mighty winds keep a tree tall and long,
May my troubles ultimately make me strong,
Ahead the yonder bright lights may I see,
And believe that I now can be set free,
Now here today may I truly find,
Inner strength and lasting peace of mind.

- Written on July 9,2008 for Morning Reflections Group at the local Detox Centre, where the thought for the day is :"The ability to project past the present pain gives us hope and endurance, leading us toward the light of a better day."

    Even before the day I was born,

    I've been a star

    With all of the potential

    People tell me to "put the past behind me,"
    But no matter how I try that can't be.

    by Tom Mcmurray

    I stand before a grand abyss
    Awaiting my eternal bliss
    Then gaze inside the eyes of God
    Across a wide expanse so broad
    Of fulminating
