How To Let Go

I wish I knew how to let go

Of everything that I can’t change

That weighs so heavy on my mind

All the personal affronts

That mean so little in the end

The struggles and the wasted time

The caring and the wondering

Concerns and aspirations

That all amount to nothing

If only I had more control

Over my own destiny

But I can only go so far

And do so much to shape my world

To focus on the here and now

Must be such a precious gift

One I doubt I’ll ever have

All I can do is try
