Look Not On What You Have Lost

Look Not On What You Have Lost

For how long must you look back
at the road you’ve travelled
and weep for what you have lost,
for what you can no longer have back?

For how long must you stand
at the crossroads
not moving a single inch
afraid to take the next step forward
because it will lead you away
to the past you’ve been grieving for?

Dear traveler, you are still a pilgrim
and however you may wish to stay
there will always be a time to move on.

Cry and weep for what you will miss,
grieve for the love you’ve found and lost,
yet never let it hinder you from your path
to finish the race you have begun

You are here for a purpose,
and you are only here for a while,
even the burden you have, no matter how heavy it is
will soon be lifted up
never to bother you again.

Think of the many travelers
you still have to meet,
think of those whose burdens you could make lighter,
of those who could hear your song
and the wisdom that you have.

Move forward
Look ahead!
Rise up quickly even if you fall!

Now is your time to rise,
now is your time to face the challenges before you.
Take what you can from your journey,
leave behind what is holding you back.

Look not on what you have lost,
look ahead on joys you have yet to find!
