Today, making big plans

Looking out, far ahead

Life’s landscape, calling out

Past now ready to shed

 

Yesterday, forgotten

Latching on to new tune

Positive, fresh outlook

Below night’s risen moon

 

Freedom filling each dream

Nourishing assurance

Confidence springs forward

Life’s steady insurance

 

Eager to keep moving

Opening novel’s page

Business taken care of

Wisdom heard from old sage

 

Timetable’s steady hand

Taking shortcut’s byway

No working overtime

Down tomorrow’s highway
