The Best Is Yet To Come - Evelyn Prime Y10

There are memories you haven’t made,
And there is beauty you haven’t seen,
There are feelings you haven’t experienced,
And there are places you haven’t been.

There are destinations you haven’t reached,
Sights you haven’t witnessed yet,
And there’s a countless number of people,
That are waiting to be met.

There are days you haven’t lived,
And there are goals you haven’t achieved,
There is hope shining brightly,
And this, you must believe.

For you are capable of anything,
And the best is yet to come,
So when you think your life is ending,
Just know it’s only just begun.
