Analysis of Troubles Never Last

Candice Lynn Sapp 1982 (Morgantown West Virginia)



Now that time has passed,
I can say that I have grown.
When the present becomes the past,
I will reap what I have sown.

Whenever the future arrives,
I will be able to look back and see.
That my inner strength derives,
From all that has happened to me.  

I have come so far over the years,
That I had no choice, but to change.
From chasing away all my fears,
To following my dreams in exchange.

When you focus on the days to come,
Instead of what's in the past.
You will be able to see the sum,
Of your life's troubles never last...
