Pastel blue sky
Light orange cloud
gray lines
Palm trees, turning dark In my eyes
Wind chills,
But it’s summertime
Peace find my heart and mind
This blessing is one of a kind.

Don’t be a pessimist be an optimist

“Somethings are better left unknown.”

To my old friends
I am sorry I wasn’t a good friend.
I am sorry I didn’t know how to communicate back then.
I am sorry my trust issues got in the way.
I am sorry I didn’t come out to play.
I am sorry I didn’t text for days, months, and years.
I am sorry I didn’t share secrets as you did.
To me the fewer people know about me the better it is,
And the more secure I feel.
If I tell them nothing then they can’t hurt me.
To my old friends
I am sorry I wasn’t a friend.
I promise to change for the next.
I hope you find new friends you can trust,
And I hope they trust and love you just as much.
To my old friends, I am sorry I wasn’t a good friend.
You deserve better than I was back then.

Proverbs 18:24 A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
