The Past Is Dead Poem by Qiniso Mogale

Yesterday is dead
The past is dead
Yesterday is finished
The past is gone
It is done
It is over
Today is a new day
Past hurts and pains must die.

The past is dead
It must not define today
It must not define the future
It must not define the rest of our lives
The past must not dictate terms
Yesterday must not have power over us.

The past is dead
Yesterday is dead
Bitterness must be done away with
Anger must be done away with
Unforgiveness must not eat away at us
Revenge must not rule us
Resentment must not haunt us.

The past is dead
Yesterday is already in the past
Let's be over comers through Christ
Let us once and for all release the past
For we are joint heirs with Christ
Let us rest in God
Let us trust in God
Let us lean on God.
