If I Could Say Another Thing: It Would Be:

By bdgrey

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The past is now unchangeable, but from it we must learn. The present passes by so quickly, so take advantage of every moment, for its one less here on earth. The future is shrouded, uncertain, yet yields such great possibility. Who I was is unimportant, yet it paved the road for who I am. Who I am at this moment will change with the clocks every turn. But who I will be continually drives me, until God has dawned the end. Every day we come closer to death, since that day we were first born. What we do in between makes us who we are. This is why I do nothing short, of shooting for the stars. The past, present and future are what dreams come from, and what they are made of. Each path is different, yet we all end up at the same place, much as where we began. Past, birth Present, life Future, life and ultimately death. Where are you going?
