Kim Rodrigues Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Be Present

“Children have neither a past nor a future. Thus they enjoy the present, which seldom happens to us.” — Jean de La Bruyère

BE PRESENT

be present,
with the invitational—
the moment.
matters not the occupation.
be present.
don’t squander
life’s gift.
