Living in Today

I wanted time to fly
I dreamed about tomorrow
I longed for the next step
The next day
The next year

Now I am in that next step
I am experiencing the “next year”
I am tasting reality in a changing life
I want yesterday
I want last year

Yet if I long for yesterday
I will waste today
Just as I wasted the past “todays” as I longed for tomorrows

I determine to be content and live today in today
Today will not be spent dreading tomorrow or longing for yesterday
Because God has place me in today
