Letter To the Future-30 Years Old Me

I knew it that you'll keep going That you wouldn't give up on our dreams Hi, I'm you, and you are me The only difference between us right now Is that I am the dreamer And you are the fulfiller We've gone so far Look at what I put on your thoughts When you were younger Now you've reached them all And our parents are prouder I am so proud I was the past you I've heard you've been working a lot Have a little time for yourself, grown ass woman! You deserve that treat after all Remember me when you were 22! You made millions of mistakes That parents wouldn't be proud of Make those mistakes again!! It's not too bad to be young again I'm the bad guy, expect me to say that I'm proud to be you And I know you will always remember me Now you're 30 It's just been 8 years!!!!! Last thing I'll tell you Keep the feet on the ground, no matter where you are now Give back to parents Make them smile Make them happy Love your siblings! They're grown up just like I was! I love you, future self. Read this when you're 30 okay? Promise me not to shed a tear one day! Kidding aside, I'll wipe your tears. You still got me.

Life is full of mistakes and accomplishments but as long as you can look in the mirror each morning and say “nice job” your life has been successful. A nicely written verse, Christine, welcome to Poetry Soup. John
