As I look around me, everything I see <br />Looks the same as yesterday with no uncertainty <br />I see nothing changing; time seems not to move <br />Life for me seems quite secure, what more is there to prove <br /> <br />All I see is here and now as that is all there is <br />I know a friend with troubles but those troubles are just his <br />Things like that don't bother me I have not reached the stage <br />As sickness and infirmity come with an older age <br /> <br />I hear that health is fleeting but for me that can't be true <br />If something bad was happening I'd surely have a clue <br />But if I saw the future I would have reason to cry <br />I'd discover that to my surprise tomorrow I will die<br /><br />Richard Lackman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/here-and-now-32/
