She dug her ankles deep into the sand

As the waves rolled onto the shore

The sun glistened upon the rippled surface

As she gazed across the vast horizon

Everything in that moment was perfect

Until a voice from the past cried out

And she turned her head in fear

Still another voice from deep inside called out

Leave the past behind

Look to the future

Brighter days are still to come

It’s time to move on and take another step
