Growth

I shall never fully let go
Of the feelings, thoughts, memories
Of everything that once flowed into my life.
I am always envisioning my future,
Always lingering in the past.
I feel strongest when both of my
Mindsets of future and past align.
I will always be living in the present.
I'll never give up on my way of thinking.
The blending of yesterday, today, and tomorrow
Is my way of diversifying times from which I shall grow.
