memories will fade

and the Future uncertain,

choices lead somewhere

 

that's not certain

a tangle of confusion

always join the mix

 

take the step forward

focus on the surroundings

live in the Present

 

the time is Now 

not Later, not Sometime soon

else regret follows

 

the Present is far

more precious, make memories 

and commitments Now

 

the Time Limit is

always approaching, waiting

to steal precious Time

 

don't lose, this is our

Generation, Our Time in

the light, Now is ours.


The author's comments:

It's so easy to leave something until later, to forget about it for a while, but that only makes it worse. There's more stuff piled up, and eventually something will break. Something will be sacrificed, and that urge to slack off will end in regret. Or so I've found with my personal experience. Don't leave something for the future, because the future will always have something unpleasant in store for that. Live in the present, and enjoy it. Have fun with the long-term effects, not the temporary.
