How to segregate ...


Psalm 119:105 

 

105 Your word is a lamp to walk by,
and a light to illumine my path.

 

How?

 

How to segregate memories ... the good and the bad?

It seems that good takes the lead ... to praise the times you had

 

It takes you to a land called “wish” ... where the clock can be turned back

So that in the here and now ... you can escape and get on track

 

Decisions made every day ... often pave the path of to-morrow

As most of the things we decide ... will fill our hearts with sorrow

 

Our dreams become filled with “ifs” ... our hopes will be ensnared

Reality is now a fleeting thing ... that is falling into despair
