NO PERMANENT SCARS c 2009 By Sister Siebra Muhammad
Shadows of the past fall behind me Tossed aside on the road less traveled Before me is the path to my future Footsteps line my dreams unraveled
In the distance I see what I have lost Growing darker with the fading sun The moon calls the stars to join him For every new light, one wish undone
Past the sky I look toward the heavens To God this one question I ask If what I wanted is no longer possible My future will you please unmask
This is something that I can not answer It can only be answered inside of you Past choices will effect your journey And the pain you put someone else through
Don't give up, stay strong and have faith Your purpose I'll promise you'll find The key is to let go of yesterday Look forward and never behind
I keep walking, careful not to turn As the sun once again starts to rise Unclear of tomorrow or the future But with a faith that is newly energized
