Those Rear ViewMirrors
You just graduated and the whole world is in front of you,This is a fresh start, out with the old, replaced by thenew.
With that cap and gown casually tossed in the back seat,Hopefully you’ve learned from your mistakes, no repeats.
You put that old car in drive and the next chapter begins,Looking through that windshield for your life’s next wins.
Aww, isn’t that view through the windshield so very bright? It sure is abig ol’ world out there, no apparent end in sight.
Its that time to dream, set goals, and dare to visualize,But listen for a minute and take this old-timer’s advice.
Notice mirrors to the left, in the center, and to yourright,No matter how far you go, those mirrors are never out ofsight.
They remind you who you are and how you got to right here,They are there to offer courage when you have doubt or fear.
Or maybe they are there just to keep your ego in check,They can get you back on point when your life is a wreck.
They represent your foundation, your ethics, and yourvalues.And even those very special people that clearly impactedyou.
They are a reminder of your family, church, school, andtown,They could be just what you need when you are feeling down.
Glance through the mirrors so you see the folks there withyou,Those are the folks that help your push forward or pull backtoo.
Now, you do need to look through the windshield and dream,Just remember those mirrors are there to remind you of the team.
Such as life as this ol world goes round and round and offyou go,Those three mirrors are there no matter if you move fast orslow.
You see, they serve as your life’s check-point to help yousteer,And never forget, “allthose objects are closer than they appear.”
