Enjoy Now

Though trouble lurks waiting to foment

We all must reside here in the moment

We don’t have a lot of choice

Yet don’t neglect yesterday’s voice

We look back to remember

How we got to each December

Letting choices made set our course

So tomorrow we know where to guide the horse

We plan for tomorrow and hope it works out

Making plans, working through doubt

But as we swivel our heads back and forward

We have to remember also to look toward

The ground at our feet right now at this moment

If we don’t latch on it may all end in torment

Don’t let worry cause your grasp to slip

Your happiness depends on this little tip …

Stop occasionally to enjoy the right now

Laugh with your love, catch a movie, pet a cow

Call your parents, kids, or an old friend

Tell them you love them as each day doth wend

For if we only look back we live in regret

If we only look forward we often forget

The joys we have in this current place

The light of chance in our now space

Remember to bring your love a rose

Walk through the spring grass in your bare toes

Dance with the devil a tango hot

Let slip away worrisome thought

Then slip on your shoes and check your calendar

Use lessons learned yesterday to face future challengers

Plan for future, remember the past,

But please don’t forget to let the good moment’s last
