Today: (A Poem About the Past, Present, and Future)

Today

Now is not the time
to live in the past.

You are not your past...
you are so much more.

Make memory lane
a destination on the journey;
not the finish line.

Use lessons learned
to guide your way.

Be proud of days gone by…
but be bigger;
and better;
and brighter than ever before.

The past is there
to learn from.

The present is here
to live.

The future awaits
with open arms.

Don’t be the old version of anything.
Be the best version of yourself
... today.
