letting go

  I am
letting go of worry
letting go of the past
letting go of figuring out the future
letting go of fixing everything
  so that I can
be present with today
be present with what I have
be present with my children
be present with my husband
be present with my reality
  because
we only have today
we only have this moment
we only have this breath
we only have the here and now
  but we miss so much because
we focus on what we don't have
we focus on the past
we focus on the future
we focus on our problems
we focus on what we can't control
  and in the end
we have held onto our worries
we have held onto our problems
we have held onto our past
we have held onto regrets
we have held onto possessions
  and we realize
that life was not really lived
that life has been lost
that life was in the moments never lived
that life is what is going on now
that life cannot be relived
that life begins when we enter into the present
  but it is never too late
to let go and breathe
to let go and be
to let go and see
to let go and behold
to let go and notice
to let go and become
to let go and live
  and we will be free
to live fully
