Now

I've been thinking, trying to find my pace,

Not getting caught up in the future's frantic chase,

Or dwellin' on the past, with its regrets and pain,

I'm trying to stay present

I'm taking it one step at a time, no need to rush,

Focus on the moment, let the future hush,

I'm not worried about tomorrow, or what's yet to come,

I'm just trying to be, where my feet are, 

I'm learning to breathe, to let go of the stress,

Living life like it's precious, no time to repress,

The beauty of the present, it's where I reside,

No distractions, just the here and now, I'm going to thrive

I'm living in the moment, no time to waste,

Trying to soak it all in, like a sponge in a haste,

I'm wise enough to plan, but not get caught up

In the future's uncertainty, or the past's rough times,

I'm just trying to be in the here and now

Because I'll never be this young again

I know I have to plan, for the days to come,

Make moves, take action, before the day is done,

But I won't let the future, dictate my vibe,

I'll stay grounded, like a tree, that's rooted deep inside,

And I'll learn from my mistakes, from the past,

But I won't let the ghosts, of what's been, forever last,

I'm forgiving myself, and moving on,

Because the present is a gift, that's where I belong

Life's a journey, not a destination,

I'm taking it one step at a time, with patience and education,

I'm growing, I'm learning, I'm evolving every day,

And I won't let the present, slip away

So I'll stay present, like a work of art,

A masterpiece, that's still being crafted from the heart,

I'll keep it real, keep it true, keep it me,

Living in the moment, blessed and free.
