Live in the moment,

Not in the past,

Nor hanker for the future,

It’s a fantasy repast.
This moment, might not be the finest,

But it’s the now,

Make it the best you can,

Make that your vow.
Don’t defer happiness by harking back,

Don’t look to others to mark out the track,

Find inner strength, find joy in repast,

There are morsels of pleasure amongst a lack.
Live in the present,

Learn, laugh and cry,

This is the moment,

For you to fly.
