The Future Needs You

Often
The effect we have on the world
Is not the one we meant to have
We change lives
In unexpected, unintended ways.

If we cling too tightly
To the vision we once had,
For what we would do,
For who we would be,
We fail to see
What we have done,
Who we are,
And what we are really capable of.

So don’t give up,
Not now.

Look forward;
Leave the past behind.
The future needs you.
