Past, Present, Future

Never let sadness of the past,
define your direction,
fore achieving gladness, serenity is key,
to unwind life's exultation.

The fear of the future,
while it places a heavy burden,
to live depressed and caged,
is dismal defined in suture.

Sadness and fear,
a course of negative context,
to bring stagnation at sail,
and sink one's boat is perplexed.

Sadness and fear,
wade those waters with caution,
never let either of them,
ruin the jubilation of your present.
