Letting Go

Many times I hold on to something for dear life
Many times I strangle the lifeline that is so dear to me
Many times I do not know when to let go
A love, a friendship, a hurt
When it is over
When is it over
What do I have to know
Before I can let go
To move on
To put this behind me
To step forward into a brighter future
When do I let go
How do I know its time
For the Grace of God will guide me
And forsake no others
And I am letting go
I am flourishing
I am rising above

I have let go
