Use Your Present


We all wish we could start over;

Go back in time and begin anew.

Try as we may, we just cannot.

This we know, but regret to believe.

Everyone wants one more moment.

For what? It does not matter.

That moment will never come,

So we need to do

What we can

With what we have.

Ask your questions, seek your answers,

Make your amends, forgive your enemies,

Hold friends and family dear, never let go,

Love no matter what,

And do today what you could do tomorrow,

Because tomorrow may never arrive.

Time always runs out,

But there are endless ways

To take the time you have to the

Fullest so you can look back on

Life with satisfaction in your heart.
