Very well expressed Jaq! It's good to hear that the past is not going to impose itself on the sunshine of your today or tomorrow. Lovely presentation, well done!
I don't think you need semi-colons in this line, maybe commas but not necessarily ??
no hurt; no sorrow; or fear.

Hi Jaq! This is such a clever and deeply written poem.

Stepping into tomorrow- such a beautiful idea!

"Unforgiving"- fantastic word to describe the past!!!:-)

One step forward... Two steps back- excellent line. When we find ourselves slipping back into our pasts and what used to be, this is what we think.

A bright and hopeful ending- we all need to let go of what was at some point and focus on what will be:-)

A wonderful write:-)

Shenel you are a wee gem, thank you so much for this cracking review. You are right, we all have to let go at some point or we might never find out what good things are waiting for us. :) Jaq xx

You're welcome Jaq:-) I quite agree... In the end, it's not the opportunities took that we regret- it's all the ones we didn't take:-)

On the threshold ... this poem encapsulates that instant, so rare in life, when we know we are entering a new, exciting, rewarding phase of existence. Marvelous.

Beautiful inspirational poem.

Favourite stanza....

I need to move out of the past
and break down the walls that surround,
to strive for a new beginning
no hurt; no sorrow; or fear.

So true, you need to let go of the past to give oppertunity for the future and improve ones life.

great job

Regards
Tia

That's it exactly Tia, too often we wallow in the past, but just as often it is a hard place to escape from. Thanks for your review. :) Jaq xx

the time has come
to move forward
and start anew
only you can do it
for you are you
don't look back
just start over
you know you can
do it welcome tomorrow
