Poetry: Never look back

by Leigh Goessl

Created on: March 25, 2009   Last Updated: December 26, 2010

Time never stands still
Just keeps marching on
If you start looking back
You might miss what's to come

Avoid looking back towards
Sorrow, pain or tears,
Sweet moments pass so fast
Don't waste all of your years

Keep an eye on the future
When tomorrow looks bright
Even if it doesn't
You can still put up a fight

Don't look over your shoulder
Focus eyes straight ahead
Can't live for yesterdays
Those days have gone to bed

Tomorrow's the future
Yesterday is the past
Can't live in yesteryear
But in memories they'll last

You can still remember
And yet live in the now
The trick is balancing
If I could only learn how
