Lifes Lessons

By MidSummers Eve

The past is past, the present now,
Live today you already know how,
Yesterday is gone, its lesson learned,
You survived the night this day is earned,
Night turns to day, day to night,
Don’t worry about the tunnel that ends in light,
Live in the moment, the futures tomorrow,
Live today and you won’t end in sorrow,
Live for joy, live for love,
And the future will come on the wings of a dove,
Don’t worry about the signs of the times,
Or how bad this poem rhymes,
So I’ll sum it up with a few more lines,
Live in the present, not the past,
Live in the moment and it won’t matter how long you last.

    Good rhyme and flow but alittle too uplifting, But good all the while. Some lines get you thinking "Yeah maybe i should" Or something like that..
