In this moment to witness, <br />As it is and 'now'... <br />Can not be argued as the most precious. <br />Or found to debate over it's effectiveness. <br />In this moment to witness, <br />As it is and 'now'. <br /> <br />In this moment to witness, <br />Steps taken to reminisce... <br />Are often wished to replace, <br />Mistakes made to erase. <br />And many look back... <br />But can't eliminate worries off their faces. <br /> <br />As it is and 'now', <br />Life is to be lived with the facts accepted. <br />As it is and 'now', <br />People should refuse to live exclusively deluded. <br />In this moment to witness. <br />And as it is 'now'. <br /> <br />Not a moment lived and given, <br />Is repeated to delete that which has been done. <br />Even though decisions are made, <br />To have those wishes come. <br />Not a moment lived and given, <br />Is allowed to schedule for another day. <br />Not a moment lived and given, <br />Is borrowed to save! <br /> <br />In this moment to witness, <br />As it is and 'now'... <br />Doesn't come to stay. <br />No matter who decides to look away from it.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
