The Gift

Why worry what will come in the morrow? Concern yourself with what's here today Visions of today are bound to follow Presents are created this way Cherish life's small gifts No time is like that of the present Dive into all of the currents & rifts Swim in life's purest of blessings Struggles breed the hardest of lessons Some would rather slumber than learn Blocks come to hinder progression Rise above with the wings you've earned In this space great things are born This is a womb of light & dark Use them both so you're no longer torn We're in between what's light & dark An even match will ignite the spark

Love this poem Jasen. Such a great, uplifting, inspiring read with many reflective thoughts. Great wisdom throughout its entirety. I especially love the line, ‘ visions of today are bound to follow’ and the last two concluding ones. Love the title too for it is a gift when you are able to cherish the here and now and embrace fully in the present. Really enjoyed reading it. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful Christmas my friend :):)
