Dear Future Me,

If I’m right, by now you have everything that was your dream

The past has been rough

But we have knowledge and wisdom which is more than enough

I have made decisions,

Decisions that may have changed your life,

Whether good or bad, I ask that you stay away from Strife.

It is hard to look back and ask you to change ,

The choices I have made may seem strange.

By the life changing experiences your life was rearranged.

By now you are aware that you are not alone, For through life, your mistakes were learned.

You no longer fear what you feared the most,

Through temptations, you over came and need not boast.

I’m sure you remember that special moment,

A moment when you were covered by elegant raiment.

You are wiser and stronger than ever before

Because your hope is more abundant and shall last ever-more.

Always abide in the love, as love in you.

Dear future me ,

I am proud of how you grew.

Sincerely,

You.
