Path of Then
Path of
Then
Going the wrong way looking back,
Retraced steps lead you off the track.
A spiraled circle facing in,
Look up and move on again…
Living in a memory of a time you had,
The memory of time leaving you sad.
Remembering cannot bring back Then,
Memories fade so we can live again.
Going the wrong way looking back,
Retraced steps lead you off the track.
A spiraled circle facing in,
Look up and move on again…
Time is time; the years roll on.
We have this time – then it is gone.
Remembering dreamily in our head,
On memory alone we can’t be fed.
Going the wrong way looking back,
Retraced steps lead you off the track.
A spiraled circle facing in,
Look up and move on again…
Lessons learned, then filed away,
Perhaps looked at on some lazy day.
But life is here, and you are in it,
And every day is a new chance to begin it.
Going the wrong way looking back,
Retraced steps lead you off the track.
A spiraled circle facing in,
Look up and move on again…
