Climbing the mountains of life.

The time has come for me to move on,
to let go of the things I’ve held for so long.
With a new day and time I’ve tried to forget,
all the pain in my life from people I’ve met.
But time is the greatest healer I’ve heard in the past,
that’s how I know that this pain won’t last.
I have climbed a mountain,  I’ve almost reached the top.
It’s a hard journey, and I’m not about to stop.
My heart is healing with God’s help I know,
He keeps me strong wherever I go.
This yesterday’s pain had a hold on me,
so strong and so tight I could hardly see.
The damage it done, my soul grew so weary,
but I kept on climbing and now I see clearly
the lessons from God, he wants me to learn,
The lesson is that now it’s my turn.
To take this mountain and show it whose boss,
to climb without stopping no matter the cost.
It will not defeat me there’s too much at stake,
to let this pain my life overtake.
Thank you lord for making me strong, 
for being with me when others were gone.
for carrying me when I could not walk,
for being my voice when I could not talk.
for being my eyes when I could not see,
for taking my hand and leading me.
for loaning me an angel, when times were hard,
for giving me the strength to make a new start.
Because yesterday’s pain is about to die,
a horrible death without a soul to cry.
So long my pain you had a good run,
to rip me and ride me now your time is done.

    I also like this poem because it explains my life a few years ago, I was having a rough time of it, but now I’m doing fine, because I didn’t give up. Thanks, good writing.
