A poem

I always ask myself:

Where would I be in 20, 30 or even 40 years?
What would I look like?
What would I have accomplished?

I want to look at myself and say well done;
I want to look back and see change;
I want to look back and see growth.

I don’t want to look back with regret:

Saying what if;
Saying why;
Saying how come.

I want to look back with joy;
I want to look back with love;
I want to look back with gratitude.

Because I didn’t give up;
Because I learned a lot along the way;
Because of my wonderful support system.

I also prayed and trusted God, now:

I want to keep moving forward with hope;
I want to keep moving forward with ambition;
I want to keep moving forward with reason.

I want to be more loving;
I want to be more forgiving;
I want to be better and wiser.

So, what are you hoping to tell your future self?
