Don't look back

Don't look back on what has happened,
Disappointments and sad things...
Instead look toward the future,
And the joy that each day brings.

Don't live your life unhappy,
From things already done...
Concentrate on your accomplishments,
Battles fought that you have won.

The chapters of your life are like,
A book you might have written...
Full of fun and many good times,
And those when you were bitten.

Looking back will serve no purpose,
And is a waste of time...
Mere lessons from the book of life,
That guide you down the line.

Don't look back upon your failures,
Instead keep moving on...
For life is what you make it,
And too soon has come and gone.
