Bright Future

Looking upward

My future is looking bright. That’s right. Filled with excite.

Here and now is my day. Watch out for what comes my way.

There’s nothing wrong with you. The future is long for you.

Sit back and listen as it whistles a song for you.

Stand up, tilt your chin up and stick your chest out.

It’s time to take the best route to let your best out.

Don’t linger on the past. It matters not it was your toughest fight.

A future is coming and void of the roughest fight.

The roughest night means the morning will be looking right.

So keep your eyes on the future because it’s looking bright.

Check out my first ever published book “Melanin Memoirs” on Amazon and Kindle out now.
