Don’t Look Back

Don’t look back at your life
You can’t bring it back
It’s past, gone
Look forward to your life
Things to do, anticipate
In the new morn

In all hopelessness
Loss, hunger, despair
There is always hope
Take courage
Your page will turn
Future’s not bespoke

There is much to gain
From living faithfully
Accepting pain
Giving love generously
Not letting any remain
It comes around again

Let others into your life
And when they leave, let go
Others will take their place
You’ll be rich, never poor
Hold those you love close
To your heart, but always free
Le their wings grow, and fly
Love like this will never die

You have loaded this piece with some good positive thoughts that just may help some who are going through personal struggles. Well done.

Thank you. I hope this piece helps someone. I can speak about my health and "coming back from the dead" and know the agony of those close to you, and their happiness when you get well.

So it is with one's personal life and circumstances.

There is always hope for better times.

Thanks again,

Dolan
