keep the sunshine in front of you

Let the shadows fall behind you

the past is the past

don't look back

it is always looking over my shoulder

if you turn back around

you will be going out of bounds

stay the course and keep your focus

the past is the past

keep the sunshine in front of you

let the shadows fall behind you

the past is the past

let the joy be part of your future

or make a new one that will fit your time of life

be careful not to turn around

and let your past chase you

beware, of the darkness

that lingers behind you

keep he sunshine in front of you

and let the shadows fall behind you

do not let your past chase you

This post is dedicated to anyone who is having a difficult time, coping with life
