The trouble with life is
There are three areas
The past, the present
And the future
Which one do you live in?
We try to live all three
In any given day
We get stuck in the past
And worry about the future
All while living in the present
We live in the past
Remembering the good times
But also never forgetting the bad
We can get so stuck there
Which can stop us to grow
We live in the future
Worrying about what may happen
Will I be lonely?
Who will look after me?
What is, or isn’t going to happen?
We need to live in the present
Live one day at a time
Savour our friendships
Appreciate what we have got
And be thankful for the opportunities
Yes the past is important
We can use our mistakes
To learn and to grow
We can use the happy moments
To make ourselves smile
Yes the future is important
But it is still to come
Why worry over what might be
When we can live.
In what actually is occurring?
So learn from the past
Pray about the future
But live in the present
Enjoy what you have got
And love those around you
