UNDER THE STARS

I stand under the stars

reflecting upon scars

of the distant past.

Hearts heal not fast,

if the owner makes no

effort to let go

of dark memories.

Forgiveness frees

all those who exercise

the lost art of forgiving.

I stand under the stars

refelcting upon scars

of ancient wounds


Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this one in 2001.  It's about some things that happened to me when I was young, and my struggle to "get over it."  Only Jesus can heal the scars upon our hearts.

like this poem. you wrote it long ago. but i still predict like me,. those scars still stick out. oh god why does our past haunt us? why do we carry memories? why do we carry habbits learned of youth? i look under the stars. i only relize jesus has forgaven us of all.. i choose to walk by what he has done and who we are in him not by the haunts and habbits of past. his word and love shows us who and what we should yield to. those scars will be gone in heaven. now i have to look at them. but remember to remove your eyes from scars and put your eyes on him.
