A poem I wrote on the theme 'a year from now' as part of HitRecord's #makethingsapril quarantine lockdown challenge.
A year from now
Things won’t be the same
I might not be where I expected
I might not be where I aimed
But a year from now
I hope I still have reasons to smile
That I’m still making fond memories
That make living life worthwhile
A year from now
I hope the skies are still blue
The fish are swimming freely
And there are still unspoiled views
A year from now
I hope I still go to bed warm
I still have food on my table
And shelter from the storms
A year from now
There are things I won’t remember
What was on my to-do list
Or how it’s already December!
But right in this moment
I’m grateful for what I’ve got
I’m focusing on all I do have
Instead of what I’ve not
A year from now
Is a long, long way away
So for now I’ll live in the moment
For now, I’ll seize the day.
