Stop Postponing Life

Stop postponing life and start living Often we push our thoughts too far And it is common for us to worry about the past Skipping the present Missing the point, diverging from the current. The past is something we once had The future, something we wish to have But what if the present is all we have? Or all we’d ever have What if we’ll never go beyond today? For we are not promised the next day? Worrying about the future helps us not Neither does regretting the past push us forward If this moment is all there is Then I better realize it and learn to live: In the moment that is To draw back all of my energy, And focus to this moment So wait not for the rain before you plough For you know not when to expect the rain cloud Do what you can right now Use what you have right now For it is already enough We just have to see it as such.
