Array ( [sid] => 63304 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Past... [time] => 2004-09-10 21:45:23 [hometext] => This is one of those that came out of the blue... suddenly... I found myself writing... and this was the result... take it or leave it... commment or not... U do whatever u feel is in ur heart... [bodytext] => The past...
For some... it is forever locked in regret...
For others... it is where they live...
Living there can be dangerous
Dwelling on what once was...
And is no more
I say...
The past is the past
Leave it that way
I know... it is something that's easy to say...
But hard to do

What if the past... could be changed?
Or even re arranged?
NEVER!
The past... is something forever lost
Something... that's shattered in the sea of time
Lost... forever in the ebb and flow of life

The past...
Is something... we all must live with day after day
Something... we use to measure... just how far we've come
Something ... we use to see... just where we've been
So... we'll know where we're going
It's a place... we can visit...
But we can never live there again

We must live and deal in the present
With all that comes our way
While not getting lost in the fray
The fight that we all must win...
In order to survive... again and again
I know... it's hard to deal with sometimes...
We suffer and bear... more than our share... of the pain felt in life

We... then... must look to the future...
With a little hope in our hearts and minds
And let not our eyes weep for the past...
We must crave the future... that has come at last
Cast aside the old and embrace the new chapter in our lives
For the future is NOW...
Things have got to be better...
'Cause the best in life is yet to come

Let not the past be forgotten...
By no means...
Let it live on in our memories...
Let us each one... remember... in our own special way...
The good... the bad... the ugly... of our own personal history...

Beautifully written, an excellent subject, as many dwell for to long on their past, some even let it eat them up inside with devestating results, I agree with you the past is the past, it cant be changed, it cant be messed with, it should just be left as a memory.

Awsome poem

This is a great write. The past is really hard to let go..Especially if it is bad and it's your fault.
