Past, A Promenade

A nice thing past, what a promenade! Past is no psalm read and repeated, Visit it and return, Get enriched, from it learn, Reference made leave it, walk ahead. Future, a dreamland And future, what else but a dreamland, Sunny vision's land, but no God-send, Never should ye stay there In its rarefied air, Fine, if used as a third helping hand. Present, a gift of God Life's lived well if lived in the present, Heavenly gift is it— a present, Waste no time in dead past, Nor in future not cast, Know thou this: NOW lasts a mere moment. ____________________________________________ Musings |03.08.16 |
