Past, Present, Future

Picture the growing stages of a baby. The many can dos that everyone looks forward to. For example, the first few steps of one. Standing and falling will be common in order for those little steps of success. Each little step forward brightens the faces of many, who celebrate the growth. However, as a child goes to school, many parents tend to forget the importance of these little steps that a child or anyone will need. Blaming the child for not getting the results they wanted, although there seem to be improvement. Putting the child down even more when failures come along the way, instead of showing support. How helpless can a child like this be? How many of us wish time will be future as a child just to prove them wrong? As adults, we still meet failures along the way, do you then wish time to be the past, present or future?

Moving on for some of us may not be easy. The pains that we may have experienced may not be felt or understood by any others around us. However, with support, we make it through the stages of pain. But do we actually move on, or hang ourselves in the past? Do we support ourselves with the past or present and future? Do we compare what's past as past or what's past as present and future as well? Do we want to celebrate the present and future? Do we look forward to time in time to come? Take little steps to discover the present, the future will unfold. What's past can only be in memories. They are like books of your own faith, you learn, reflect, refer to them, you live with it but not in it. To live life in these books of memories, will they get you far? Blaming self, putting yourself down, will you feel any better?

Will past bring you happiness compared to the present and the future?

Stood, fell, injured.
Tried, anticipated, disappointed.
Taking little steps up the rack,
Moving forth and back.
Far is where it is,
Here is where it still is.
What takes,
No one knows.
What will it be,
The answer is of no guarantee.
Past is past.
Present and future,
They are still a must.
