Write a poem a letter about quote or motto that inspires you 8 months, 2 weeks ago
If you love something
The quote goes “If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you it’s yours forever. If it doesn’t it never was.” I use this quote in everything I do. Here’s a poem of how I use this quote in my life.
In the quiet hours of dawn’s first light,
I held my dreams close, fierce and tight.
But whispers of the world, soft and clear,
Taught me to release, to let go of fear.With open hands, I cast them wide,
Knowing some would drift, some would bide.
For love, true love, finds its way home,
In the spaces between, in the skies we roam.I watched as hopes flew on the breeze,
Some returning, wrapped in ease.
Others fading like mist in the sun,
Reminding me not all journeys are one.Each lesson learned in the dance of fate,
Embracing the fleeting, I learned to wait.
For what is meant, will always remain,
And what was never mine, shall cause no pain.So I cherish the moments, both lost and gained,
In the tapestry of life, both joy and strain.
With every letting go, I find my way,
Embracing tomorrow, come what may.Voting is closed

Jenn, your poem gives deeper meaning to the quote you shared. I’ve heard the quote many times, but always considered it a way to help people let go of relationships that are untrue. I love how you apply it to other aspects of your life. Some dreams we have are not meant to be, and though this is a difficult pill to swallow, understanding it can help protect our hearts. Thank you for sharing your perspective!
