Dear Past Me

Dear past me,
Who smiles so bright?
Who has always spread her wings,
And taken flight.
Your eyes are shining blue like the sea,
Looks like you are;
As happy as can be.

Dear present me,
Why are you so sad,
Has something gone wrong?
Something gone bad,
Looks like you have lost your way.
And you may never,
Live another day.
   
Dear future me,
I hope you are well, 
And I hope you are alive.
I hope you smile so everyone can tell;
That you've made it past.
The good and the bad,
And you've finally won this battle at last.
