Letting Go

By Suzanne Marshall Lucas

Giving up is merely quitting

Letting go is sweet release

Giving up is cries of anguish

Letting go is perfect peace

Giving up is hard and heavy

Letting go is loose and light

Giving up is simply failure

Letting go, success in sight

Giving up is very human

Letting go is most divine

Giving up is death at sundown

Letting go, the rising sun

Giving up is "There, it's over"

Letting go, "I've just begun!'
