Looking back
What could have been
Was never her way.
Focused only
On now,
She gives the past
Its dignified end.
Happy times
That are no more.
Sad times
Without purpose
Of being relived.
She knows
It’s better this way.
Events long gone
Ever clouded
In subjective
Memories.
Contentment
Far more available
In present tense.
Looking forward
Toward future bliss,
With hope and
Inspiration
As her guiding lights,
This can be
Her only way.
