Beyond My Years Poem by Edwina Reizer

I cannot think beyond my years
but every day that goes
I look back on the younger years
and am encouraged by those.

For the past becomes the bridges
that brought me to today.
I don't burn the bridges behind me
for they've shown me the way.

I keep my focus on present moments
and never on the past.
Even the moments that I'm living now
are ones that will not last.

The future is always the unknown.
It's a time beyond my years.
Unfamiliararity with what will come to me
are my adventures with new frontiers.
