just stop
turn around
and look -
dont go back,
but just look at everything that is behind you.
squint if you must,
for there is a lot back there.
many memories and times forgotten
however, also many memories and times remembered.
and we take it all for granted
all of the time.
will you just stop for a moment here
reflect
meditate
smile
know
and just be
look how much we've gone through
how far we have come
how many things we have experienced
and all of the things we have learned along the way
look at how we have changed for the better
gotten stronger
shed tears
and shared laughter
we've had pain
and hurt
anger and bitterness
but the bad cannot exist without the good -
we've had joy
and love
we've had life
and we take it all for granted
most of the time.
breathe it all in
and let it all out
smile in knowing that you are experiencing, well, life
isnt it beautiful?
now turn back around and face the world before you
hold my hand if you are scared
but know that i wont always be here
for each has his own life's journey
that only they themself have experienced entirely
momentarily our paths have come together as one
but who knows when they will separate?
most people will tell you
to never look back
but i,
i think the only way to survive is to look back
and realize how far you've come
how far all of us have come
all of the triumphs we have experienced
all of the love we have shared
and maybe we wont take life for granted next time
maybe we will see all of the strength we had to get us this far
strength we didnt even know we had.
and maybe now we'll realize
that with all of our experience
we're ready to face the world
look at all we've gone through
look at how far you've come.
