Life’s Tapestry Unfolds
Life must be understood backward, they say,
As we traverse the path, moment by day,
For wisdom often comes in hindsight’s gaze,
As we unravel the threads of our yesterdays.
In the tapestry of memories, we find,
The lessons learned, the truths intertwined,
Each experience, a brushstroke, a hue,
Painting the portrait of a life anew.
But life must be lived forward, with open eyes,
Embracing the unknown, beneath the skies,
For in each breath, a story yet untold,
A dance of moments, unfolding bold.
With every step, we venture forth,
Navigating trials, discovering our worth,
In the present’s embrace, we find our way,
Living the chapters, from dawn to day.
The past, a compass, guiding us along,
A teacher of strength, where resilience is strong,
Yet, dwelling too long can tether us to the past,
Preventing the future from being amassed.
The future, a canvas, awaiting our touch,
For dreams to be painted, desires to clutch,
But fixating on what’s yet to come,
Can blur the beauty of the present’s hum.
So let us hold the balance, both past and future,
As we navigate life’s twists, its vibrant suture,
Understanding backward, but living forward,
In harmony, our souls forever soared.
For in the tapestry of our existence,
Past and future, in delicate coexistence,
We find the wisdom of lessons learned,
While embracing the flames of dreams yet earned.
So let us honor the journey, every stride,
With gratitude for the past, a cherished guide,
And with hope for the future’s unfolding,
We savor the present, its treasures beholding.
For life must be understood backward, it’s true,
But it must be lived forward, with purpose and view,
In this dance of time, let our hearts be stirred,
Navigating life’s currents, guided by every word.
