PREDICTION

 

Today I must plan,

yesterday exists no more,

tomorrow is mine.

    Today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday.

    • Michael Edwards

      Jam yesterday, jam tomorrow but never jam today.

      I posted this first thing - too early to be late - I was in yesterday and will be in tomorrow but out all day today so will not around to comment any more on MPS until it's too late to be early. (in UK time that is)

    • P.H.Rose

      I love its simplicity
      But at the same
      Time it says everything
      Well done Michael
      Sometimes 10 words
      Say as much as 20

      I like that Michael and the replies from you and Goldfinch are great and so true. Like those song lyrics, "Wish I didn't know now, what I didn't know then." Love the play on words. And, excellent picture, of course.

      • Michael Edwards

        Thanks WBL - but I still don't know much of what I didn't know then - and I still don't know what it is I don't know.

        • WriteBeLight

          Ha Ha.

          you paint a lovely picture Michael live in the moment of today for yesterday is but a memory and tomorrow but a dream. ww

          • Michael Edwards

            Cheers Willy - but if I die I won't know anything tomorrow so what's the point of learning anything new .

            • willyweed

              Now you know all about being dead some ghosts tell me you never really live until you are dead? the point being you may just need to know! ww

                Now you just might be right there - perhaps I'd best go back to school.

                • willyweed

                  I see you are smarter already and you have got to love that?

                • Tony36

                • MendedFences27

                  Live for today, plan for tomorrow. Life is short. Enjoy it while you can. Great advice in so few words. Pure poetry. - Phil A.

                  Yesterday, today and tomorrow was the name of a flowering shrub that grew well in California. Your water color is divine. Kudos.

                  • Michael Edwards

                    Being a keen gardener I'll look it up - thanks Augustus.
