Santha, that is such a lovely 15 syllable poem, and it sends out a very wise message to everyone. It's not always a good thing to look back on what has passed, or happened. We must move forward, always. What has passed is no longer within our grasp, we must grab the future with both hands. Well done, my friend, and good luck in the contest! Sandra xx

The first two lines of this poem flow and connect well. The last line
says it all! The author's words are uplifting and meaningful. I often
think about how "we only have today"! The artwork is awesome and compliments this poem well. Hi Sanku, have a great day!....Maria

You shared your wisdom through this contest entry. Thank you for sharing this poem with us. Our past is important because it makes us who we are today. We need to learn from it but not dwell on it. Good luck with the contest.

Very, very wise. I used to tell my children to move on from mistakes. Don't drag the past with you. It just slips you down. This was clear and concise. I loved it. Gretchen

I agree with the sentiments in your post here, there is no point in looking back as we cannot change the past and living in the now is the only way to live and we pray we have a new tomorrow, a fine post, love Dolly x

Very good advice. Looking back doesn't allow you to move on. We can't change the past only work towards a better future. Even if you don't win, it is a winning poem. Good luck in the contest

A good message for us all contained in these few syllables. The count is perfect and you use the few words to say a great deal. Well done and good luck in the competition.
