In the garden of life, we often hold tight
To withered dreams that have lost their light
Clinging to shadows of what used to be
Blind to the wonders we’re destined to see
The heart grows weary with burdens of old
Stories and patterns that no longer hold
Yet fear whispers softly, "Don't let them go"
While the soul yearns for the chance to grow
The future is a canvas, vast and wide
With colors and dreams that we’ve yet to decide
But how can we paint with hands so full
Of yesterday’s echoes, now faded and dull?
Open your eyes to the beauty ahead
Release the past, let it be shed
For in the letting go, we find our way
To brighter tomorrows and a brand new day
Why grasp at leaves that have turned to dust
When life offers treasures that are meant to be just?
The comfort of old is a siren’s song
But the call of the new is where you belong
Nature teaches us with every season
That holding on without reason
Stifles the growth of what’s meant to be
A life of abundance, wild and free
It’s okay to let go, and like leaves, let them fall
For in the release, we stand tall
With branches bare, they reach for the sky
Trusting in life’s rhythm, they never ask why
So, let go of what no longer serves
Embrace the change that life deserves
For in the space of what’s left behind
Lies the magic of dreams, beautifully aligned
The journey is yours, a path to create
With open hands, welcome your fate
For life is a dance of ebb and flow
And in the letting go, we truly grow
