Welcome The New


...Let's not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness. James Thurber 1894-1961


Welcome The New

Damaged by the anger past
Living in memories that shouldn't last
Never happy in present times
Grieving of some unforgiven crime

Remembering friends who did you wrong
Not making new relasionships strong
Living with memories of hurtful things
Smothering in feelings these memories bring

Dwelling on those who have long been gone
Crying over a sad sad song
Not dancing with joy of hope anew
Can't even see it coming to you

Never looking around for pleasure to see
Not letting past injustice set you free
Licking wounds open again and again
Not letting a new era bloom within

Days of thunder and darkness gone
Friend it is time to now move on
Don't let sad memories hold you a slave
Let the past lie in untended graves
