They hold the past so tight,
Afraid to move, afraid of the light.
Memories linger, shadows of old,
But they can't move forward if they stay controlled.
The past is behind, it's time to let go,
The future is waiting, it's time to grow.
To find what's new, they must set the old free,
Embrace tomorrow and all they can be.
The beautiful rhyme scheme makes the poem all the more great. Makes the positive message of the poem ring in the readers' heart. Thank you, dear poet.5*
Lovely aesthetic poem.Past is the lessons of life. But we need to move on. Future is where life. But we live in ‘the present. "Aage bhi Jane Na tu, peechhe bhi Jane Na tuu, Jo bhi hain bas Yahweh iss pal hain"..
