Ponderings...

I sit here now,
as I often do,
thinking of the future...
no limits...
no promises...
just endless hope.

I remember,
as I often do,
how I've changed...
what I've left behind...
what I've accomplished...
and a joy rises in me.

And now I dream,
as I often do,
for what I hope to have...
Love...
Friendship...
Family...
all of these sit before me...

A realization comes over me...
the Past cannot be changed,
but it needs to be remembered.
I must firmly grasp what I have now,
or all hope for the Future is lost...
