Its Just Life.

Don't look into the future
Don't think about the past
Just think about the here and now
For it may never last
Live life as it should be
For it will surely come
Don't live it as a day dream
For what is done is done
Don't live your life as in regret
You can't ever change the past
For you are what you surely are
The stone in which you're cast
Life is an ever changing circle
As so many have now found
For what you do upon this earth
Will surely come around.

I agree with you whole-heartedly,
My dear Graham:
You can never change the past
And future you can't tell
Present is all we have got
And that is what matters;
So might as well live it up
For it will never come back again
And we will lose, even that what we have got-
Now...

(((Hugs, as always, for a very lucid write)))

Love, Zoya

Live each day as if it is your last...

Though I believe that thinking about the past enough to learn from it, and about the future enough to secure it (as best we can), is better general counsel, I like the spirit of this poem!

PS: All too often life does come "surly"; but surely "surely" is wanted in line 6! (Then I'll stop calling you Shirley... ;-,?)

Good advice indeed! I think sometimes, people can dwell too much on the bad things that have happened, rather than relish each day as it comes.

Precisely my way of living!!!!!!! I live today , yesterday I cannot change and tomorrow I know nothing about.
Life is far too short to be wasted on regrets and second thoughts.... learn from the mistakes and look forward.
Excellent piece of writing here. Will be bookmarked!
