Time to Change

Time to change Time for the past to inform the future For me to close a chapter And realize that I am living in a new one Trying to leave my baggage behind Everywhere I leave a piece I leave a part of me as well A piece of my heart A short story in the novel of my life A promise to return But return is never a rerun Some memories are gold And worth reliving Some friendships last a lifetime Or longer, and some are passing Encounters, To teach, learn, grow When does the teacher become the taught? It is not just the words of another That can give me the tools I need The lessons are found in my own actions It is in this tat I have the opportunity to change with each and every moment of every day The time is now.
