Life passes all too fast. We tend to lose sight of the significant occurrences that have shaped it.

 

The future is important. But we must . . .

 

 

Never Forget

 

Never forget the day

you realized

what life was about.

 

Never forget the dreams

of a future,

with shadows removed.

 

Never forget the opportunities

to undo the mistakes

of your past.

 

Never forget the people

who played a role

in who you’ve become.

 

Never forget the doors

that opened,

or those that remain closed.

 

Never forget the paths

that still need

to be traveled.

 

Never forget who

you are to those

who depend on you.

 

Never forget to be

yourself and not

the design of others.

 

Never forget

to remember—

not to forget.
