MOVE FORWARD

Shackled by memories 

Of days so distressing -

They did not at all please,

Only sorrow did they bring. 

A wise man to me said:

"Don't be by the past led;

You still have paths to tread-

Just always look ahead !"

I listened to his advice, 

It did make sense to me;

I was done with all lies - 

Moving on was the key.

Now I move forward 

Unfettered as a bird -

On and on, on and on,

The past is gone ...

The future opens its gates,

A whole new world awaits.
