The past is the past

This is a wonderful poem.  How many of us fail to let go of the past?  Learning to let go is very difficult.  Making mistakes in life is how we learn. Being scared to make the same mistakes prevents us from living our lives.  If things had been dealt with differently in the past, perhaps we would not be calling them mistakes.  So now we have the opportunity of doing things differently, without the fear that it will end up as the same mistakes.  Then we have to change our mind-sets and handle everything differently, like we did not do before.  Give it a proper chance; be more understanding and more relaxed.  The first time it was wrong, the second time, as we have learned, will not be....................

That is where it is supposed to stay

But some cannot let it go

In their head it eats away

Until all their focus becomes

The person that they used to be

The mistakes they made in their life

Oh if only they could see

That you cannot change what happened 

No matter how hard you try

No matter how much you think about it

No matter how much you cry

What happens in your lifetime 

Happens for reasons unknown 

So you have to let the cards unfold 

Let your story be shown

Don't get wrapped up in the negative

Be happy with what you have been given

Live for today not tomorrow

Get up, get out and start living

The past is the past for a reason

It's been and now it is gone

So stop trying to think of ways to fix it

Whats done is done.
