Do Not Forget Your Past, Learn From It

Far away in the distant past
lie the memories of things that once
were and how they have affected who we are today.

We regret the things we did not do and wish
that we could change the things we did wrong.
We should look to the future instead.

We end up waiting our lives in remorse
and pass right by all the good things
that are happening in the present.

If we look toward the future,
we are sure to find at least some happiness
that will make our lives worthwhile.

You can find comfort
in the thoughts and actions of those around you.
They will help you, get through the rough times
and also rejoice with you
when things are good.

Just look for the brighter day
and you will get through life.
Many complications may arise
and things might seem wrong,
stick to your virtues.
Hold your head up high
so the whole world can see
how special you are...
and you will make it.
