When we live in the past,
all we do is become
filled with regret.
If we do not learn
from our mistakes
the first time we make them
we can get caught
in the cycle of repetition.
We cannot live
in the future either
because when we do
worry will drive our thoughts.
We must look up
and trust God to
watch out for us
and teach us what
we should take away
from the past.
That is so true. I often say that nostalgia is poisonous if taken in large quantity. I like the flow of your poetry. It is very readable.
