Going

A Poem by Sam Freeland

in the right direction

never look back

as you plunge on ahead

the time to do that

is after you're dead

if you believe in the future

there is hope for you

every day is a new challenge

to find what is true

the future continues

on its merry way

go with it always

you will be okay

what was will never be

ever here again

forget about its importance

only the future knows when

we will find in the future

the pleasures of our action

the surest way

to have any satisfaction

looking back when going

retards the pace

making everything less

in the joy of the race

time is on your side

when used going ahead

the past is gone forever

leave it for the dead

it is really about choice

in how you use the time

live in your own future

and don't forget the rhyme
