No U Turn

So many times we go back in life

To times that we only remember the good parts

And we romanticize them

And make them so much better than they were

And then we expect everything to live up to something we have rewritten

Giving everything now no balance

Or a chance to have a chance with us

You see, it is easy to look back and forget

So think to yourself that today is like those days, only now

That you will remember only the good parts in a year or two

So live better today knowing that

Our lives are not meant to U Turn

We are meant to drive ahead and see what is in front of us, not behind us

Otherwise we would have eyes on the other side of our head

Merge onto the lanes of life

The one's that include living as you are driving

Looking around at what is beautiful

Rather than the biggest obstacle you can find to complain about

Complaining is easy

It is standing up for your happiness that is waiting for you to park
