Quatrain of Looking Back

Looking back - just a glimpse

If you squander all your time
looking back on the life
you daily leave far
behind,

It is unlikely you will advance
your thoughts and no new
revelations will you
find.

Learn to look in the right
direction and don't dwell
on the wrongs you once
chose,

Those who accomplish scads
in life are always looking
ahead with just a cursory
peek at past
lows.
