Letting Go Poem

A fellow stepmom posted this a few months back on the forum. I thought it would be a good time to remember it:

"Letting Go"

To let go...doesn't mean to stop caring, it means I can't do it for someone else.
 To let go...is not to cut myself off, it's the realization that I can't control another.
 To let go...is not to enable, but to allow learning from natural consequences.
 To let go...is to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in my hands.
 To let go...is not to try to change or blame another, I can only change myself.
 To let go...is not to care for, but to care about.
 To let go...is not to fix, but to be supportive.
 To let go...is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being.
 To let go...is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcome, but to allow others to effect their own outcomes.
 To let go...is not to be protective, it is to permit another to face reality.
 To let go...is not to deny, but to accept.
 To let go...is not to nag, scold, or argue, but to search out my own shortcomings and to correct them.
 To let go...is not to adjust everything to my desires, but to take each day as it comes, and to cherish the moment.
 To let go...is not to criticize or regulate anyone, but to try to become whatever dream I can be.
 To let go...is not to regret the past, but to grow and live for the future.
 To let go...is to fear less and to love more.
