What We Know Now

what do we do with today
when yesterday
we didn’t know
what we know now

what do we do with tomorrow
when today
we know
what we know now

how will we remember yesterday
when tomorrow
we will remember
what we know now

Hindsight and looking into the future would be quite a trick to have. The nicest tricks in life are taking them day by day. Sadly not all the tricks turn out for the better, but being alive and having enjoyed the past and being fortunate to be able to enjoy ones tomorrows. Deep thoughtful piece Deb, nice one....James :)

Much to think about here, Deb. Sometimes "knowing" is a good thing; sometimes we'd rather forget. Thanks for sharing, Carolyn
