"All Aboard"
___________
Life's too short for yesterdays,
It moves along to fast.

So if the ride gets bumpy,
While you are looking back,
Go up front,and you may find,
Your life has jumped the track.

It's alright to remember
That's part of history
But up front's where it's happening
There's so much mystery.

The enjoyment of living
Is not where we have been
It's looking forward
To another year or ten.
It's searching all the byways
Never should you refrain
For if you want to live life
YOU"VE Gotta drive THE TRAIN.
Some folks ride the train of life
Looking out the rear
Watching miles of life roll by
And marking every year.

They sit in sad rememberance
Of wasted days gone by
And curse life for what it was
And hang their head and cry.

But I don't concern myself with that
I took a different vent
I look forward to what life holds
And not what has been spent.

So strap me to the engine
As securely as can be
I want to be out in front
To see what I can see.

I want to feel the winds of change
Blowing in my face
I want to see what life unfolds
As I move from place to place.
I want to see what's coming up
Not looking at the past
