Moment

Know where you are

Our past is just that,

it cannot be changed.

Our future has not arrived

so we do not know what life may bring.

All we truly have in life, is this very moment.

No future, no past.

Just this moment in time to savor.

Knowing your life you control right now.

So each day look in the mirror,

say well done, I have done well.

Your past and your future at this moment do not exist.

Most of us have the fear about what tomorrow holds for us and the regrets for our past mistakes.....But worrying about tomorrow and regretting the past will only make our future dark and tough.....We can't change our past but we can definitely change our future by doing our best today and it depends on our willingness....Absolutely true write Willard sir.....I believe its the best way to live this life.....

Very true and captured perfectly. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is yet to be, it makes sense to live in the now, but do we listen?

Thank you. A bit of a twisted tale, unless you are there or know someone who is that lost.

This is a lot of pressure for some people to handle. Not so much the past but, the future. They might be depending upon second chances and you are not affording them any guarantee. I like your poem for content and idea! Good work.

I know of individuals that due to some things out of their control and some that should have been under their control, went terribly wrong. They are on the road to recovery, but the pain of the past the weight of what lays ahead, does not allow them to look in the mirror and love themselves.

They feel they have not met expectations. They have no future as they see it. So when you are that depressed and in a place that dark, you have to take a moment at a time.

Like addicts say, one day at a time. But sometimes with the pain being great enough, you have to take every moment. Peace be with you my friend.

And thank you so much for stopping by my soapbox this morning. I did not see it there until I saw myself spewing forth my life philosophy. Thanks for stopping by for the entertainment and I hope you had a good time.
