The Best of the Past

relived

Small wonder we dream

of times gone past

always hoping for help

to make the best times last

 

What we see in life

occurs mainly in our mind

life should be for us

of the times we were kind

 

Hopelessness embraces

a doubting mind

likely to believe and think

there is nothing good to find

 

If you can understand

this condition of being

it will be a first step

in your future of seeing

 

Look around right now

for those giving love

they are quietly showing how

its a prayer to heaven above

 

The lives of those who give

will experience better health

the calmness in the way they live

is the source of this wealth

 

With this calm we feel

there is time to think

of the problems to avoid

that take us to the brink

 

Begin your effort right now

to turn your life around

you truly have the ability

to follow a plan that is sound
