HINDSIGHT FOR TOMORROW

Every day I pray
for salvation and sanctuary

It is so easy to become lost
in bitterness, futility, cynicism, regret,
worry, guilt, disillusionment, remorse, despair.

It is easier to dream than to do,
to lose yourself in fantasies
of all that could be

It is hard to accept
the harsh reality of
now and what is,
hard to hold on to
all that you believe
and see the positive
of what could still be.

Yesterday is gone,
tomorrow doesn't exist yet,
there is only today.

Never stop believing
in the moment,
always be alive now.
