Retrospect

RETROSPECT
- by Elly Yusof

No turning back
as the past is gone
Left us on its track
under the glorious sun.

No point in regretting
no point in whining
'Cause with every ending
comes a new beginning.

Goodbye dark clouds
it's time for me to play
I've chosen my path
and let me do it my way.

For we are the masters
of our own destiny
And God won't change our fate
if we don't even make our bets.

You can't have the rainbow
without the rain;
you'll never understand happiness
if you never tasted pain.

Oh, heart!
You keep on amazing me
with your strength
and resilience;
how you healed thyself
after all the turbulence.

Forgiveness is the key
to happiness
Once you let go,
you'll be cured of paralysis.

No hate, no bitterness
Only smiles and tenderness
For joy and love are waiting
in every corner,
If only our hearts let them enter.

Oh, just let them enter.
