Now

Now

A Poem by Alexander143
"

What was was. What will be will be. All that is is all that counts.

"

 

Yesterday's long gone; burnt down to bits

Fragments of bitter and sweet memories

Tomorrow is like a bright but distant star

Like a race against the whispering breeze

 

Our hands hold no mass in gold or silver

But there's more to treasure in right now

 

The day is as rich as the night is young

While our hearts beat and our lives are

While our dreams surge and slowly burn

We'll try once more to shoot for the star

 

We'll challenge our reality; face our odds

We will live like kings; live like its our last

We'll steal moments from destiny's hold

And fabricate our own fate if we must

 

If our future should melt to a pool of lies

We'll take pride in this truth; we have now

 

We'll run in the wind; kiss in the breeze

We'll dance in the rain, play in the sand

We will wish upon Africa's noonday sun

We will conquer distance hand in hand

 

We'll smile longer. We'll laugh harder

Enjoying every moment while it's prime

We'll fight stronger. We'll dream bigger

While we still have the might and time

 

We'll live in the best way time will permit

We have all that we need if we have now

 

We'll scream louder. We will aim higher

We will hold tighter. We will learn more

We will grown older. We will be prouder

Cuz in the arms of us is what we look for

 

We'll love like it's all we've ever known

Cuz all that matters is we have right now

 

Keep Smiling
