Past Present and Future

Yesteryear pasted so fast
I was in the moment
When I realized it was a
Blast from the past

Presently all is well
I’ve been working on
Staying out of the past and the future

I just need my man to stop 
Talking about those ladies at
Hooters

The future, that right there
Keeps my hope alive
It’s so bright, the darkest
Of shade won’t protect my eyes

Conclusion

My life only represents this day
And I will rejoice and be glad in it

The past is a memory
The future a dream
The present is everything!

My present can make the future run forward
And my present can make the past run backwards
All I have to do 

Is hold the space bar for the future
And hold the back space for the past

That’s how I can enjoy the now
With one prodigious laugh
