Live in the Now

The past gave you pleasure and pain,

Happy memories like art, mistakes like stain,

Learn from the wise teacher and refrain,

From making those mistakes again!

Like the feisty ants on the trot,

Keep going no matter what,

Brush past the failures one shot,

Keep up the onslaught!

Future is a master of illusion,

Shows false hope, on a veil of deception,

Leads you on the cliff of desire and expectation,

Gives a hard push into the valley of reality!

The past cannot be perfected,

Perfecting the present continuously can,

Make the unpredictable future not so tense;

So, live in the present! Live in the now!
