Past, Prersent, Future
"If I asked you to reflect,
What would it be, do you expect
About the present or the past,
Or the question “why”, you’d ask
Would it be about change,
Or things to be rearranged
Perhaps an event long ago,
Or dreams of winning Lotto
Would it always be about you,
Or would you consider others too
Family, friends or community,
To include in possibilities
So when does a reflection become a goal?,
Only when it’s embraced by our soul?
Or is it the reaction, to change a behavior,
As if a wager
Betting it will improve,
On that which you choose
To desire or become,
Thoughts I have begun
To will the future and what I see,
Including changes in me"
