To the Past

Dear formerly lived moments

By Donny FoleyPublished 4 months ago • 1 min read

To the Past moments it may concern;

Thank you for teaching me lessons I didn't know I needed to learn until now

I was ungrateful in the moment because I could not see the forest beyond the trees

As I grow so will you, and I want to apologize now for all the times I will have been ungrateful, but I now make this solemn promise, to always do my best to see the forest, to see the path you had put me on without my knowledge nor sometimes my permission

When I am old, and my eyes have weakened to the point of blindness, I will see you with all the clarity of youth gone by and I hope I will not regret you

I know it will not be an easy journey but I am determined to not let you go Past me too quickly
