Live Now

Goldfinch60



We go through our lives

Experiencing each day,

That experience adding to our knowledge,

Knowledge of our lives.

Those experiences become part of us,

They can never be taught.

 

As we get older we look back,

Look back at what has been.

As age increases we look forward,

Look forward to what might be.

 

Remember though where we live,

We live in the now.

Now is the most important time,

The most important time in our lives.

So live in the now,

Now will never come again.

          When I was in a jazz band myself and another trumpeter used to try and play the Fanfare, we didnā€™t make too bad a job of it.
          Roll on the Rugby World Cup - real sport.
