The Present by ~canticum:iconcanticum:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Philosophical > Open


Think of your memories
of a long lost day
Long for the summer
or for passion or play
Those times are gone
but if you keep hanging on
You'll lose not only today
but tomorrow

Dream of a future
that's happy and bright
Wait for the time
when it all will come right
But if that doesn't come
your time here will be done
And you'll have nothing to show
but sorrow

Live for the moment, live for today
Don't dream of a time that has once passed away
Live for the present, live for the now
The future will find its way somehow

The second stanza is a little less than the other two, but I don't know why that is so...

Anyway; the ending was simply brilliant. :thumbsup:

eh.. I think the last two lines are a bit too long, but I can't find a way to fix it while keeping the meaning and rhymes and rhythm all at once :%

I believe in Jesus Christ as my Savior. If you do too and aren't scared to admit it, then copy and paste this in your signature.

No, she's just as much a workoholic as a depressed person who's trying to lose themselves in work while on a caffine overload and energy drinks, and sugar, and has ADHD, working on an assembly line, times fifty.

if you forget everything but now what was the point of the past?
if you ignore the consequences, what will you future be?
if forget the now, will anything ever get done?

Do not forget to live in the past
Do not forget to live in the present
Do not forget to live in the future
But most of all, do not forget to live.
