Time-Past, Present, Future

Time is different for different folks. Some might say, "Time is not your friend." Some might say they have "too much time" or "too little time". Some just do not know what to do with their time. One thing is for sure and that is "time moves on" and "time waits for no one." What will I do with my time? 

 Time - Past, Present, Future-

I have deeds in the past I’d rather not rehash,

but there were some that helped me to grow,

though, at the time, I did not know.

My present is here today-

A day in which to pray,

A day to make gray or gay,

A day my options to weigh,

A day to meditate and enrich my mental state, 

And a day to work or to play.

My future comes with the morrow-

A time in which God lets me borrow.

The past will have been left behind.

The tomorrow will have become the present- 

A day in which to be well spent.

And what of the future?

In looking back, 

What would I find?

Would it be kindness or self-fish blindness?

Would it be forgiveness in my liveness?

Would there be love in which to think of?

Was there joy within day’s ploy?

Past, Present, Future- 

The past is history- no longer a mystery.

The present is here today- to live it in mine or God’s way?

The future is unknown, but not to the One upon His throne.

“Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on His law day and night. Psalms 1:1-2 Niv
