Living For Now Poem by Randy McClave

I must admit in this time of hours and days
I would rather live for the moment with joy and praise
Enjoying my time I have which only GOD will allow
While not looking for my forthcoming, but living for now,
I don't want to wait and look out only for my future
Which could end or begin with the closing or opening of a suture
Neither do I want to express in sadness with 'what' or 'how'
I want to enjoy the present and live for the now,
A man will work and scrape money for his golden years
As he waits and slaves and sheds his own blood and tears
Time it will pass him quickly like the sweat on the brow
I won’t reminisce of yesterday or wait for tomorrow I live for now,
I enjoy each moment as I live for today and not for tomorrow
When I meet death I don't want to leave with unfinished dreams or sorrow
My yesterdays I have harvested and my tomorrow's I will plough
Other deeds they must all wait, as I live for the now.
