The past wishes to haunt me

Wants me to fear and reflect,

It wants me to stop moving on

The past does not wish me the best.

I refuse to go down that road

I lived this life and now I am old,

I see the wisdom of leaving the past behind,

It does not define me

And although it tries to remind me,

Of missed opportunities,

There was a reason I believe

That they passed me by.

I won’t let the past hold me back

I won’t have no part of that,

Learnt the lesson and I grew,

It helped my being to become renewed

But there is nothing to gain from dwelling in the past,

Life moves on too fast.

Live it ,

Love it,

Cherish life,

Share and shine your light so bright,

Move forward into what is new,

Because all that’s past is behind you,

And that can’t be changed.
