Start Where You Stand

Start where you stand and never mind the past. The past won't help you in beginning new, If you have left it all behind at last then why that isn't enough? You are done with it! You are through it! This is another chapter in the book, This is another race that you have planned, Don't give the vanished days a backward look, Start where you stand. Forgoet about your past, Here is a brand new trial right at hand, The future is for him who does and dares! Old failures will not hold, Old triumphs aid, Today is the thing And tommorow will soon be. Get in the fight! Face it unafraid! And leave the past to the ancient history. What has been has been. Yesterday is dead and by it you are neither Blessed or banned. Take courage, Be brave and drive ahead of you. Start where you stand.
