No Time Like the Present

All the time I've wished away I'd wish to have it back today 'Not good enough' it seemed to be When it was there surrounding me Wish it away, and wish it back There always seems to be some lack Not with the present day content The 'here and now' we do resent The good old days I'd have again, They were the 'now' rejected then Unlike some knick knack on a shelf Time can't be hoarded for ones self If every wish I made came true When wishing present time were through To an early grave I would have passed My every wish come true at last

Perfectly said, and makes sense for me particularly today as I feel I wasted the whole day doing nothing.

We must make the most of the present moment to live fully in my opinion and it sometimes takes practice , especially in the most difficult times. Well done! :)
