“One Last Step”

If I had,

One last step,

Would it be,

Forward or backward?

Would I choose,

To see future,

Or see past,

Let me think.

I step forward,

What’s the point,

To see what,

I mustn’t know.

I step back,

Simply to remember,

What already happened,

My wonderful memories.

What’s the point,

To see future,

I only have,

One last step.

So I decide,

I stay put,

I am satisfied,

I’ve done well.

  2. Uzoma says:

    Forward ever, backward never. Then, that was one of lines in my school anthem. Haha. I still remember.

    This poem brings back the memory. Like you, I’ll stay positive and move on. Such a positive poem.
