Barbara Gorelick Poet Couplet

Living In the Moment

I sit watching the sparrows at play,
They flit and flirt, and then fly away.
No trouble rests on their shoulders,
Their concern is just living today.


My thoughts would be like a sparrow’s,
Delighting in the moments accorded.
For tomorrow is always a question
Today, peace is the trophy awarded.
