Hesitation

So often our gut feeling
Says yes but we hesitate,
From past hurts and tender
Wounds we do not commit,
Years later we regret our
Lack of faith and muse on
What might have been.
Best to get over our past
Mistakes and concentrate
On doing better next time,
We understand the line
“They jest at scars that
Never felt a wound.”
Though the thoughts of
What we have lost linger,
And hope will not allow us
To let go forever what we
Once had but let go,
Each new day brings
Opportunities to grow and
Learn and even love again
Making our dreams come
True with another ...
