Dotage

The present ,so easily we forget
Our yesterday's,interred,remembered
'neath leaves of regret;
Often exhumed,wahed bright
with tears of delight;
So clearly,our days past,we see

For tomorrow,....may not be

These words are so wise, so profound....how true it is that we should take better notice of the present, the moment we are in, we may have this one chance, alone. This one will go into my favorites....wonderful writing, Brian. Thank you for my wonderful surprise to be among the honorable mentions in your Fanfare contest this morning!! I'm so pleased! ~ Best wishes, Carrie
