This heavy weight
rides on my shoulders.
It is pressing down
on me continuously.
Will it be here forever?
I wonder.
Someone, please take it away.
This weight
was never mine to carry.
I’m laying it down
again.
Removed, will it return?
I wonder.
This is yours. I surrender it today.

It is difficult to get through this life without carrying baggage. Although much of it was passed on down to us, we must be vigilant not to continue passing it on to our children.
Thank you for choosing to follow one of my blogs.
