Don't Ask

Don't long for the yesterdays
You do not really want
Don't ask for time to repeat itself
When you're looking towards the future
Don't weep over your mistakes
Instead learn from them
Don't go through a time warp
And feel those feelings again
For when you do
You will be reminded of
How hopeless you were
Listen to your heart
It will tell you what to do

Don't yearn for time to start again
Things happen for a reason
Don't cherish those memories
That you really want to forget
Don't bury yourself in depressions
Believe me, it doesn't work
Don't ask the Lord to forgive you
Forgive yourself over time
Make amends and
Take control of your life
Cease it in both hands
Appreciate it again
And love it
And remember
No matter what happens
I love you.
