Should You Hold On?

You still miss the past,

Not because it was kind,

But because your feelings lingered.

Should you hold on

To a past that did you no good,

That has no faith in your present,

Gives no hope for the future?

You still miss the past,

Not because it gave meaning,

But because you thought it could.

Should you not move on

With the faithful present,

Toward a purposeful future,

That life may favor you?

Oh, dear! Life is so much more.

Be still and know that the future

Can be kinder if you move on

With the Sovereign by your side.
