Listen to poem:

The Now That Never Leaves

The Now that Never Leaves
David J Walker

All we have is
The now
For now
If tomorrow never comes 

We still have
  	The now
And then 
We start again
And borrow what becomes

The now that never
	Goes away
Its silent sermon pleas 
The calendar says 
Its still today
The now that never leaves
