Cashing In On The Past

by BethShelby

Each one of us owns something
which belongs to us alone.
No one can take it from us.
It's worth more than precious stone.

Perhaps life wasn't pleasant
and our situation bleak,
but things we've left behind us 
are what makes us all unique

Experience is priceless.
We can't let it go to waste.
The past is always present
and it simply must be faced.

The bad can be made better
If we recognize the wrong.
Values from the lessons taught
are designed to make us strong.

We shouldn't live in the past,
but must use what we have learned,
since all that's gone before us
is a wealth which we have earned.
