The Now

The world moves on
With or without you
You can't dwell in the past,
Nor stress about the future,
You must think about the now

The world will continue 
It will still spin way past our lives have ended,
So do not fear the future or cry over the past
Live in the now, think about today and what it might hold

Fortunately or not, today is born of yesterday and tomorrow of today ... residuals are inexorable ... be that as it may, the poem is nice, regardless of these molecules of philosophical clouds ...
