Wish you well

March 20. Another year goes by. Another date I won't forget. Wish you well. The song is done. The day is gone. Replace with happiness. Memory threatens, but sweetens as well. A lifetime of good and bad can't equate to only feeling sad. Honor the past and put it behind you too. I am weakened and made strong by a long road that goes on and on. Forward moving morning, come to me my love. Come to me. Every breath holds my will to move forward and forward still, though the instant anchors come and lash about my bow...remember when, remember how. How exactly do you honor memories without being tied to them? How does the noble person recognize the past, knowing now what you didn't know then, without the longing to fix what went wrong? Do we simply regret to end of our tired days? No, this can't be right. Recognize the growth, be thankful for the lesson, remember the lesson and don't repeat the mistakes. Accept that you are not perfect and learning through trial and error is a part of this life. Don't block it out, let it be a part of you. How else will you grow? Think of how far you have come and know that you are farther along the path than before. And that past, those days, the emotions all piled up like a train wreck, the ones that took so long to develop and experience all sit like a wall. But that wall should be behind you, not in front. They should be your foundation of wisdom and not your obstacle to a wonderful life. Time will help, but you must help yourself too. It's behind you. Put it behind you. Wish them well.
