Moving Forward

The past is over

today is a day for stepping forward.

I must learn to stop looking back

to keep from tripping on the path.

What lies ahead is unknown

but finding out will be better than waiting, alone

for a gate to be opened that's long been closed.

It's time to get up, brush off your clothes

and in stepping forward know;

you are not losing what is behind you,

you are leaving it.
