The Present
Tomorrow is the future,
yesterday’s the past
but the present is the moment
that eternally will last.
You can live for your tomorrows,
you can live still in the past
but you’re living in the present
and the present’s going to last.
The things you do tomorrow
and those done yesterday
are all done in the present
that you live along the way.
You can’t avoid the present,
you can’t escape it’s claim
for both History and Future
are just tenses of it’s name.
If you live life for the moment
then all time belongs to you,
so be sure that it’s used wisely
for it lives your whole life through.
