Acknowledging The Present Poem by Shannon Wade

Acknowledging the Present

Often times we do not realize just how valuable time really is
We take it for granted
We allow our minds to take us to obscene places
Darks places we should not even tap into
Distractions like these separate us from reality
How can clarity reach us if our minds are engulfed by polluted thoughts?
The actions that we make mode what tomorrow will hold
The choices we make define what our futures will be
So it is so important to analyze the cards set in front of us
It is so important
To not depend only on the one who dealt the cards in the first place
God helps those who help themselves
We hold all the cards
Humanity has lost the concept of values
Loyalty seems like a fairytale to most
Life has been given to us as a gift
Yet many just consider it to be a game
But who am I to judge the way one relates to life?
Perhaps that evaluation works for them
Thank God for individuality
So what truly lies within your present?
Why not open up life’s gift box and see
