"Life is a sum of all your choices". So, what are you doing today?" ― Albert Camus

I’ve shut the door on yesterday -

Its sorrows and mistakes;

I’ve locked within its gloomy walls

Past failures and heartaches.

And now I throw the key away

To seek another room,

And furnish it with hope and smiles,

And every spring-time bloom.

No thought shall enter this abode

That has a hint of pain,

And envy, malice, and distrust

Shall never entrance gain.

I’ve shut the door on yesterday

And thrown the key away, -

Tomorrow holds no fear for me,

Since I have found today.
