Look Back, Move Forward
They say, don't look backward,
Because you're not going that way.
Yes, true, you're not going that way
But you need to look sometimes
To see and appreciate how far you've come.
Look back to see and appreciate that
You're not where you used to be,
Look back to mark the miles you've traveled,
But keep moving on afterwards.
Look back to celebrate every feat attained
Look back, but don't dwell there
Because no matter how bad or good it's been,
You are no longer living there,
You have moved on from the past
To embrace the bright future you look on to.
