#540 AMAZED AT WHERE I AM TODAY – PART 1
#541 AMAZED AT WHERE I AM TODAY – PART 2
#605 I’VE KEPT MY SMILE THROUGH IT ALL
#609 PAINFUL MEMORIES ARE IN MY PAST
IN THE PAST
Copyright 2018 by Judy Unger
I look back, amazed at where I am today
There were times I almost gave up
Painful memories are in my past
I just didn’t know then
I’d live with joy again
–
I look ahead, my dreams are right in front of me
What threw me down gave me my strength
I’ve kept my smile through it all
I allowed myself to feel
and learned that I could heal
–
In the past are things I could regret
What I suffered through I can’t forget
Pain that made me cry
Gave me wings to fly
–
My journey is not about where I will go
Each day, I treasure my life
I’ve left behind the pain and chains
Every tragedy didn’t imprison me
–
In the past are things I could regret
What I suffered through I can’t forget
Pain that made me cry
Gave me wings to fly
–
Once I felt hopeless and so alone
Now I’m soaring – I have flown
In the past are things I could regret
I know how love once felt
I won’t forget
The strength to say goodbye
gave me wings to fly
Gave me wings to fly
