Looking forward
Beyond what was
To what is
And what could be
There’s a majesty
In the future
The possibility
The opportunity
To be something more
More than the doubt
More than the regret
When looking forward
All there is
Is what will be
What can be
Propelled into the now
By the sins of our past
All we can do
Is be thankful
For all we’ve learned
Along the way
For all our teachers
Knowingly or not
Who’ve guided us here
You’ve made it this far
So far
No sense in dwelling
In the rear view
Eyes on the road
Foot on the gas
Charting a new path
Meant just for you
For you
By you
Forget the goodbyes
They’ve already forgotten
You’re already so much more
Than you were
And with a solitary finger
To the past
I confidently drive
Into what’s next
