'embrace the Now'

Live for the now We need to embrace it It is all part our journey Somehow we all have a purpose Or you would not be reading this You were part of His plan Just moments in time The heartache The joy Live for this moment Enjoy the awesome opportunity Nothing else should matter We have the now Though nothing is guaranteed We may have a mapped out plan We have no crystal ball Try and embrace it Even when you are stressed out Embrace the now Let’s not worry about tomorrow Contest: My Most Inspirational Poem 9th Place
