Sweet memories that are yet to be

Sweet memories that are yet to be,
A better future that I can see.
A promising start for tomorrow,
A life that will lessen my sorrow.
It’s not quite here, but it’s not too far,
Its light is there, like a shining star.
Soon it will be a part of my life,
Ready to sweep away any strife.

Sitting in this moment, inbetween,
I can reflect on all that I’ve seen.
Not everything was bad, that I know,
But some things, I will gladly let go.
Some things are worth keeping, tucked away,
As memories for another day.
The rest I will leave here in a stack,
For I may occasionally look back.

I can see the time’s arrived at last,
Time for me to let go of the past.
That those sweet memories will now start,
As I stand up from here and depart.
I have no idea what I will find,
As I now let the future unwind.
As I start walking towards the new,
Already there is a better view.
