Live For the Moment, Be In the Present

Live for the moment, be in the present Life is filled with ups and downs obviously It is never a straight road as everyone wish It is a bumpy ride with fast twists and turns Hence instead of complaining and carping Merrily live for the moment, be in the present. Never ever contemplate on the future rosy For one knows not what lies ahead in store Nor needlessly brood over the bygone past And repent for the actions compelled or not Hence do not fritter away the precious now Merrily live for the moment, be in the present. Forgive and forget the denigrations suffered Never ruminate on the wounds long-healed For they may return and make you resentful And spoil your mirth which sometimes visits Hence make the most of the slippery delight Merrily live for the moment, be in the present. Thus savour each moment of life unruffled That makes it a worthy living and profound Least stirred about by several undercurrents Those toss the boat vigorously but in vain For one may get wet but never gets drowned Merrily live for the moment, be in the present.
