You may linger over certain thoughts of the past
But the time will simply run as waste
Worries may lead you to land in depression
Stop wasting life with such illusion!
You may be joyfully imagining the future
Of a life to enjoy, full of colorful picture
Of course, it shall lead you to live in anxiety
Stop wasting life in imaginary gaiety
Think of what to do today!
It shall lead to success everyday
One is required to keep the pace
As thought of present presents peace!
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone
Play the game! Today is never gone!!
Worries and regrets deserve a throw
Live today for a successful tomorrow!
A poem with a very fine message. It seems I'm surrounded by people so tied to their past and anxious about the future that they can control anyway. BTW the people I'm referring to really have a good path ahead of them, they just keep looking at that odd possibility based on what happened to them in the distant past that they overcame so well.
