In ever time there was a past,
who mingled with the future,
and out of then came a now,
which they called a present.

And a bit of each ever time,
was how the now was made,
past wrapped up its frugal seed,
and bundled it with will be.

This frugal seed with what
will be- makes a present here,
And that is why in ever time,
past and future called it now.

Gave me a chuckle anyway...though I think all any of us really have is the present...the past is past the future uncertain...so what the heck, may as well enjoy it! Very nice!

BRAVO!!! Oh my gosh, this is absolutely delightful, sweet friend, I believe that is most important to always prioritize in the present and follow our dreams to tomorrow but in a present tense, for if we can enjoy each moment, we will find our dreams come true happily! (big hugggssssss) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is wonderful! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Derek, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
