The past?
Wish it well
Send gratitude for its lessons.
Release painful memories and
Allow them to become difficult homework.
A reality you overcame,
Eyes widened towards a brighter future.
Smile at your ability to grow,
To forgive,
To keep pushing –
Forward.
The present?
Value it
Stretch its minutes,
Devour its sparks of happiness
For a honed spark is long lasting.
