As I look around me, everything I see
Looks the same as yesterday with no uncertainty
I see nothing changing; time seems not to move
Life for me seems quite secure, what more is there to prove
All I see is here and now as that is all there is
I know a friend with troubles but those troubles are just his
Things like that don't bother me I have not reached the stage
As sickness and infirmity come with an older age
I hear that health is fleeting but for me that can't be true
If something bad was happening I'd surely have a clue
But if I saw the future I would have reason to cry
I'd discover that to my surprise tomorrow I will die
It's just as well we are unable to see the future, the here and now is quite enough to deal with. Good poem.
Live, love, and enjoy life today, while you have it, for tomorrow we all shall die. Death is inevitable. An insightful truth.10
