Wilma Neels Poet Free verse

'embrace the Now'

Live for the now
We need to embrace it
It is all part our journey
Somehow we all have a purpose

Or you would not be reading this

You were part of His plan
Just moments in time
The heartache
The joy

Live for this moment
Enjoy the awesome opportunity
Nothing else should matter
We have the now
Though nothing is guaranteed
We may have a mapped out plan
We have no crystal ball

Try and embrace it
Even when you are stressed out
Embrace the now
Let’s not worry about tomorrow
