Description

I have endured many rain storms It is the plight of the poor But one storm came through That crushed me It’s waves just beat me down so bad That I have never been able to recover I threw a pebble into a pond But this pebble caused a great ripple That I cannot take back There is not one day that goes by That I do not carry the burden of this ripple I only had one thing That I didn’t think anyone could take from me That was my pride But this ripple took that away too Even when I am alone I cannot lift my head anymore I am a forgiving soul I can forgive anyone anything But I cannot forgive myself For this ripple

HIndsight is always 20-20 and that's the saddest thing sometimes.

Randy, exceptional. From my pov the focus at one point or another, every human being on the face of the earth can relate. Equates to that of walking, thanks for sharing. P.S. I gave up the idea of forgiveness a while ago, and decided, "Thunder only happens when it's raining" (Fleetwood Mac), and the thought is knowledge. Acceptance of me as human last longer. If this piece is right, out of an emotional moment my best to you and yours.
