Going Forward

I carry my past
In a backpack
So I am never far
From the moments
Which defined me

Events
Connections
Love, loss
Attainment, failure
Lessons, places, people
Glories and gaffes and grace

Everything that ever happened
To get me here
Where I’m standing
In this moment now
On the path
To who I’ll be

Get out on that highway
Nothing in the rearview
But what I carry with me

Eyes forward
Movin’ on
Leavin’ all the dust
Behind me

I like to glance back
At the path I’ve travelled
To learn from trials and failures
From adventures and successes
And celebrate them all

Then I turn forward
Take the next step
With a clearer vision
Of the trials and adventures
The path ahead promises

Sometimes when I look back
Even into the gloomiest times
I can still see the beauty

But looking deeply into the past
Offers no more clarity
Than looking forward
