The Present Day

More days have passed than  future years
More wisdom wrought than fallen tears
More miles tread than bridges crossed
More love was gained than ever lost

Whatever time I have on earth
Has been endowed with greater worth
Misfortune’s pain and anguish spent
Are only hours that came and went  

More love now rests within the core
Than I have ever known before  
More beauty to the present day
More pleasures strewn along the way

You really need to put your poetry in a book.. I would be the first in line to buy it.

I should post these lines around my house - for dwelling in the past is futile and changes nothing.   This is written beautifully - I enjoyed the gentle flow.
