Hello, my dear present self.

There’s really no need to go back

To where you were,

Or what you did,

Or who you’ve been.

You can express the one within

Who’s eager to respond to Him.

The one who’s looking for new things,

And grows through new experiences.

There’s no more sand beneath your feet.

You’re in a wide space –

You can breathe.

Now take your place

And rise within.

Release the sound

That you’ve been given.

You’re licensed by The King to feel.

Hello, my dear yester self

I have to say – I owe you nothing.

We’ve been through good, and hard, and bad,

Through highs and lows, and in between,

Through many wonderful encounters.

We’ve been through everything together.

We lived it all, moment by moment.

However,

Now it’s time to pause

And tell you – thank you.

And move on.

But even though I’m facing forward

And I can’t see you anymore,

I still can feel your steps behind me.

You’ll always be one day rearward.

You live in all my yesterdays –

The keeper of my memories.

I’m standing on the ground you’ve built,

Stripping away the obsoletes

And building more – for THAT big day.

As I am stepping in the present,

And fix my eyes on my Forever.

I can’t help but wonder

where we’re going.

But now He’s calling…

Can you hear Him?

He’s in the day after tomorrow.
