Live in the moment

Poem

By Gregory Published 5 years ago 1 min read

The past

an illusion

the future

contrived

it is only in the moment

that we are

alive

So take every moment

and wring from it life

hold your children

more often

make love to your

wife

Make peace with the past

and then let it go

His grace is sufficient

for regrets

that you

know

Feel the sun

on your face

fill your chest with

the air

pause when it’s hectic

and know He is

there

Whatever you do

give it all of your heart

for it can never be done

when this life you

depart

Be gentle

with others

for tomorrow

don’t strive

it is only in the moment

that we are

alive

inspirational

About the Creator

Gregory

I don't so much want to write as I feel constrained to write. It's just an extension of what I was born to do among other things. It's just now the other things have passed, and it's time for writing.
