Past, Future...And today

First Of A trilogy…Past, Future And Today

Where do you spend 

Most of your time?

When you wander and 

Ponder within your mind

When you gaze into space

Lost in your musing

Is there some common place

That you’re usually perusing

Do you dwell in mem’ries

Rehashing the past

Recalling old injuries

And harmful words cruelly cast

Or do you bask

In the glow

Of smiles long passed

From lips…long ago

It’s a good place to visit

From time to time

But in truth is it

The best use of your time

Today slips away

While one ponders the past

Best waste not this fine day

Who knows?

…It could be your last..
