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
