If you close your eyes and try to remember a time,

Someone special, a moment that words cannot rhyme.

The past is the past, is it worth letting go?

Maybe we hold fast to these things so that we'll never know,

If we forget the memories, the good times, the sorrow,

The support of friends, pictures, and a few words to borrow.

The past is the past, it will never come back,

Look ahead, keep moving forward, or else wisdom you'll lack.

Better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all,

Run fast to the finish line, pick up our feet and try not to fall.

When the clock chimes 12 and time's run out,

It's in that moment that our heads are filled with doubt.

Never fear, keep on smiling, there's a better tomorrow,

Happiness is a thought that is easily borrowed.

As you move on in life the past is of no concern,

The books and the bridges are easy to burn.

But in years from now when we look back and smile,

We all wish we could have one more moment to walk down the aisle.

In the words of Dr. Seuss - in a mood far from saddened,

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."
