Look Backwards To Learn, Look Forward To Live

When you were a child you did foolish things After bumps and bruises a small bell rings Don’t tempt fate by racing out of control A little caution, best way to stay whole. Whenever your heart is broken again You know after the tears, yes you can win Friendships you made so very long ago Remain in your heart as onward you go. All these lessons learned from your history Prepare you for life’s adversity Balance is made for the future ahead Allows life to move forward, without dread. As roots on a tree, a foundation give “Look backwards to learn, look forward to live!”
