There are times when I just want to be alone
Left to my own mind to find my way home
Then as I throw another stone off the coast
I realize I’m skipping stones with ghosts
Memories of a past I can’t let go
Crashing like the waves with each throw
The girl’s heart I broke
With each harsh word I spoke
The tears my mom would cry
With each and every lie
The one I let get away
Because the words I couldn’t say
Antique shopping every Saturday afternoon
I’d say no, a million other things I’d rather do
The show you wanted to see I said we couldn’t afford
The truth is I thought I would be bored
More thoughts, more regrets, kept pouring in
Like they were riding the ocean wind
The far away sound of a single sea gull
Another memory I wish I couldn’t recall
During the holidays how you loved to decorate
Singing We Wish You A Merry Christmas and Jingle All The Way
All the presents you loved to give
All these memories I can’t relive
It’s time to clear my head
Wake my heart from being dead
Time to put these memories on a stone
Let each go with each stone thrown
Every regret, every emotion
Drown them in the ocean
I’m no longer the person I was
Forgiven, me and all my flaws

My past is gone away, tomorrow is a new day!
This resonates well within my spirit. Trying to forgive myself is the hardest part. Throwing those stones far into the deep of the ocean where they can never be retrieved paints a beautiful picture of God’s grace. His grace is sufficient…time to leave my suitcase at His feet.
Thank you for this post.

This is a good one.
I wish you would take all the stones and truly throw them into the ocean. God will pick them up and take care of them all.
I want you back. I want to be truly forgiven, I want us to get back where we were. I want us to be honest and true and just have plan fun again. I know pouring to much out here but oh well.
Throw those stones
