This Moment...
don't waste it... (limerick-ish)
We worry about tomorrow,
Facing the future with dread.
We fret about yesterday-
All just thoughts in our head.
All but T H I S moment is a thought
So don't worry for naught...
Enjoy the M O M E N T S before you are dead.

Author's Note:
I find that thinking about my mortality, that I will at some point no longer exist, can help me find joy in the present moment... to be HERE.
We never know when our time is up.
Thank you so much for spending
T H I S
real and present
M O M E N T
of
Y O U R
life reading my work. I am honored!
About the Creator
Kristen Balyeat
Words fly to me on the wind, bump into me as I'm strolling the city, splash me in the face while I rest by the river, and shake me awake in the middle of the night—I’m humbly one of the vessels they use to come to life.
Also, i love you:)
