I stand here
I am present
I am now

There is no tomorrow
There is only now
There is me and now

Search the past not
Search the future cannot
Search me I am now

My every move
My every me
My now I am

Who are you, yesterday?
What are you, tomorrow?

I am life, I am now
I am life, I see I am
I am life, I feel this instant

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love
(Daniel J D)

Beautiful Daniel!

"Yesterday is history
Tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift from God...
That's why it's called the present."

Hugs, Nancy.

Be here with me now. Yesterday was, tomorrow isn't.  Now is.
I like this, Daniel.

The instant should always be felt Daniel.  This is beautiful.  Happy Holidays!

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

Yesterday has faded,
Tommorrow doesn't have a shadow,
Today I breath.

I like your poem.

As they say, live for the moment for it may be your last.  We just never know what life will bring our way.  Very well written, Daniel.

by the grace of God.
