Never Think Of Past

Never think of past
That might have ended fast
Think of present where everything is absent
You are with your strong body and present

Work for stable future
That may make your side secured
Work hard towards goal and make it sure
Nothing will go wrong and it will reassured

To think of past may be just suicide
The difference remains very wide
The past might be sweet or dark
Yet one must cautiously embark

Past must be kept in mind but for reference
Just to compare with it and take chance
To improve the present at the same time take lessons of the past
Never to look back with pain and confidently last

Past may always remind you of poverty
How were you in those days and feeling very sorry?
How were the pitiful days spent with worry?
Now left with no choice but to go ahead with mission to carry

Some of the strong steps are needed
Some drawback has to be accepted
Yet it should not mar your will power with strong resolve
Self effort with dedication and aim to solve

Leave behind everything and think of glorious tomorrow
Live in present, steer your course and allow
That shall never allow you to go slow
As you were coming with high sprit while lying low
