I’ve published this verse before, but it’s one of my favorites when thinking of the New Year. this time I downloaded an image from Pixabay and did a little artwork. 🙂
LOOKING FORWARD
I’ve shut the door on Yesterday,
Its sorrows and mistakes;
I’ve locked within its gloomy walls
Past failures and heartaches.
And now I throw the key away
To seek another room,
And furnish it with hope and smiles,
And every springtime bloom.
No thought shall enter this abode
That has a hint of pain,
And every malice and distrust
Shall never therein reign.
I’ll shut the door on Yesterday,
And throw the key away—-
Tomorrow holds no doubt for me,
Since I have found Today.

The power of positive thinking! It’s bound to be a good year.

I’m saying that to myself. I’ve had so many regrets this past week about what I could have/should have done, or would have, had I only known. 😦 But the time is past and I have to let it all go.

No, it isn’t. Sometimes we do have to make amends for the past, too, but I trust I’ll know when that opportunity arises without having to mull over it ahead of time. 🙂
Thanks for your comment!
