I have time for a lot but alas none for regret

Not that I haven’t done things I’d like to forget

The thing is looking back is wasting the now

And you cannot alter the past anyhow

What is next is something I’d prefer not to control

I like the way things unfold as each step takes a toll

Now is the place where all my energy goes

Having a ringside seat while my family grows

Marvelling at sights like the clouds in the sky

And the people and places as I pass on by

Taking time to just breath feel the rays on my face

Spending time at the beach my favourite place

Take on now it will result in a glorious past

And a future with promise as a new die is cast

So give up on what ifs and let go of mistakes

Look forward to the new dawn as it inevitably breaks

Hey maybe your best day still hasn’t been yet

So learn from your past but give no time to regret
