The Time Before

 

It matters not

if there is more

what matters is

your time before

 

Dismiss all those

who said they would

yet only stayed

when times were good

 

Fair weather friends

you can forget

do what you can

in time that's left

 

Remember good

the bad ignore

and love the time

you had before.

d.k.,

This is a poem from the mind and why not? We are all, whether we like it not, rememberancers. The past is like a celluloid reel inside our head and at will we can replay the past and relive it also. To ignore the bad, the mistakes and failures may not be a good thing as it is from those experiences we learn, as opposed to the good memories where we simply wallow in nostalgia. The future, a mystery, is far more exciting.

A well thought out poem
Thanks
Keith
