Today is the day, they say
That you worried about yesterday, they say
I say, Yesterday would have been
Better without all that fretting
That worry that counted for nothing
But clouding the state of your mind
From the happiness and joy
You could’ve created
Instead of the stress
All the angst and the pain <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live in the now, they say
Nothing’s for sure, they say
Except that the future
and past are the same
They’re both in your head
Illusions not real
Because nothing is real
But the feelings you feel
That can only be felt
By you. Right now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

peace & joy y’all. ~jg
