History was my teacher
Telling me
where I was from.
What my name was.
What I'm made of.
Making sure I'd find
My way back home
No matter how far
I stray away.

The present is my friend
Who walks with me
Hand in hand
As we leave footprints
On the sand.
Who stays with me
Through the storm
When everything else
Seem to crumble

The future is a letter
Waiting to be opened
And read
With both anticipation
And dread.
It's a map
Of roads yet to be traversed
And destinations
Yet to be discovered.
