I understand that our past bubbles up at times especially during stress. Thank the Lord there is a place we can always go and take those things, a place of refuge and protection. There WILL be a day and I feel it is very soon, when we will have no more troubles, pain or heartache, and all our Wii be tears wiped away! I hear there's dancing there, and possibly the Cha-cha-cha! Yes, I have heard it firsthand from someone who knows. Mostly, the Lord is there and it will be a perfect place beyond our human comprehension at present.

Beautiful poem from your soul, my friend and a hopeful end. Thank you for sharing.

Sending you my best today as always and Love & Blessings in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Sally of the Cha-cha-cha! XOs

Another outstanding write. Your rhyming is so precise. Loved the last verse. And I too understand the childhood pain that still haunts. Moreover, I also understand the need for a bucket list. I hope we both achieve some of those things still remaining on our personal 'bucket list's.'

    Hi Bob, you are just the nicest and if there were more like you in this world we probably wouldn't go through these feelings. Thank you for these wonderful comments and for your friendship. And yes, bucket list, I fulfilled a lot of mine when I came here and met the people who were the good people here. Thanks for being one of those friends. Love, Debi

It saddens me that you still feel the pain of your childhood haunt you. I know writing helps to deal with some of these pains, and I hope your poems bring compassionate responses from those who understand, and those who don't and never will.

Try to put it aside today so that you might enjoy your family; there is so much there for you to find joy in.

Be well and happy, my friend.

xoxo
Pam

    Hey Sweetie, it just wasn't quite that simple but I write about feelings and it helps. I always find that it gives someone else courage to do the same.
    It was not for attention and truthfully was me being angry about a Dr appointment so it was no biggie. Inspiration, that's what emotional writers
    write about.
    I appreciate your comforting words. Thanks ever so much, sis.
    Love, Debi

    About attention? Is that the way my review came across? I apologize if that's the case, because I certainly didn't mean it that way!

    No, not at all Hon. Not one iota. I just needed for my peace of mind to make it clear.

Hi Debi. Your poem is so heartfelt. Your words express your pain. The picture is beautiful. It's a good choice for your poem. I feel your pain. I stilll deal with all the pain from my childhood. I've had years of counseling and it has helped. I' m going to write about it. Great work on your poem. Love, Brenda

You wouldn't be human if your past was locked away and never resurfaced. We all drift back over parts of our lives that are painful. We revisit the hurt, then come back to the present. It's like grief. It will come at you on days you don't expect. This was a lovely poem. You wrote from your heart and it shows. Gretchen

Very true that there are times our feelings and emotions crowd out the reality that we have a destination in heaven, and the life journey is not an easy one, plagued as it is by pain, grief and distress. Our focus can change to lift us away from dwelling on such thoughts. Well written!

Your poem about the inner parts of us is relatable. There are parts that don't go away inside of all of us that are unpleasant and trip us up. The hope of Heaven is an encouraging thought.

Listen baby sis. Jehovah God decided that there would be a limited number of people he would allow to live in heaven. So, he devised a plan to make the Earth as pleasant a place to live as heaven. The difference would be that since we are physical beings, existing as spirit creatures only might be a problem for some. Once his son Christ Jesus and his heavenly army cleanse the earth of evil. The earth would be nearly as good a place as heaven. Until then we can visit that place in our expectant minds. Try it, I guarantee you will like it.

    I know you are right and I like to think of myself as such a positive person, but there are times that the past comes sneaking back and I have found that writing about it helps. Between the memories of childhood and some other painful things happening just got to be too much. Praying helps and as I wrote in my poem, until that day, evil, stay out of my way.

    Thanks big bro. You are the best. I love to hear you talk about our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, our Lord. I appreciate you so much. Love, Debi

This is written from the heart and conveys a troubled sense of sadness and pain that is resistant to change. Sometimes, the more you try to deal with it, the harder it gets to resolve. But your fine verse evolves in such a way that you gather strength and determination from your introspection to defeat those demons. Thanks for sharing, Debi. Take care Debbie xo

    Debbie, you have no idea how much your caring and compassion means to me. I have been blessed here with a few earth angels and along with my heavenly ones, these hurtful places don't exist as much as they once did.

    Thank you also for the booster of stars you sent my way. You are amazing, and I appreciate you so very much. Much love, Debi

    Thanks so ver
