Through the halls of time we walk

Listening to historys quiet talk

Each step we take each turn we make

Echoes of the past we cannot shake

The past is a shadow but not a chain

It molds us yet leaves no pain

Each memory etched each story told

Is the treasure of life worth more than gold

In every whisper of the wind

The past lingers never pinned

Yet we move forward with eyes set high

Embracing tomorrow beneath the sky

May the past teach you but not bind

Let it guide but not confine

As you journey forward take its grace

And let it shape your futures place
