“Look not behind thee”
(Genesis 19:17)

Plan ahead, but live right now
The past is done and gone
The songs of yesterday are through
Tomorrow’s not yet come

Reminisce on what your miss
The present’s number one
Dream of someday, maybe one day
Don’t stare at a setting sun

Be here instead (don’t get ahead)
And don’t you dare forget
This life’s a gift, so please don’t miss
The chances you’d regret

It’s hard to not look back, I know
Still great things are to come
But fixating on what (soon) will be?
They’re both a losing game

The future’s as of yet unknown
(At least to some degree)
Don’t be a slave to yesterday
Live free and presently

Boundaries

Where I end and you begin
How much do I let you in?
A wall? A field? No, I’m a fence
At times it’s shut, at times open
…
Don’t want to be enmeshed again
(Cash, emotions, or burdens)
I’ll set my boundaries firm and then
When things are right, I’ll let you in!

Every choice
has a cost
There’s one thing gained
another lost

In everything
there’s opposition
A sacrifice
for your ambition

How will you spend
your cash and time?
Only YOU
(and God!) decide!
