“Turning Point,” new poem for Meghan and Suzanna.

I released the past, because forgiveness springs forward and hate falls back. I’ll never forget what I’d done, but I cannot go back and peel back the sun. I reached a past and pushed on the gas, you know, keep moving forward, because the future will last. What’s done is done. And I cannot go back and peel back the sun.

I blazed a new trail and I’ll never get derailed and even when hope has no wind in its sail. I am not my worst act, nor will I forget the past, for forgiveness springs forward, and hate falls back.
