Past, Future And Today Poem by David Whalen

First Of A trilogy…Past, Future And Today

Where do you spend
Most of your time?
When you wander and
Ponder within your mind

When you gaze into space
Lost in your musing
Is there some common place
That you're usually perusing

Do you dwell in mem'ries
Rehashing the past
Recalling old injuries
And harmful words cruelly cast

Or do you bask
In the glow
Of smiles long passed
From lips…long ago

It's a good place to visit
From time to time
But in truth is it
The best use of your time

Today slips away
While one ponders the past
Best waste not this fine day
Who knows?
…It could be your last..
