Letter To My Future Self

If you’re reading this then time has yet to pass, Yesterday was but a recent memory to borrow; As the grains of sand still trickle through the glass. Today’s been gray as I’ve searched for sun to bask, I looked for meaning to cling to until the morrow; If you’re reading this then time has yet to pass. I pray you’re doing well and not taking to the flask, Little joys of selflessness that stave off all the sorrow; As the grains of sand still trickle through the glass. Stay in the sunshine and ignore the shadows cast, Keep dreaming dreams until your dreams are so; If you’re reading this then time has yet to pass. Listen to your heart and don’t dwell upon your past, Breath every breath you can you still have far to go; As the grains of sand still trickle through the glass. So much I’d like to tell you but time goes by so fast, Focus on today what you can change tomorrow; If you’re reading this then time has yet to pass, As the grains of sand still trickle through the glass.
