Very true. It's a bit hard for me to sit today, but who knows what the morrow may bring? Thank you for this reminder that time is not of our making, it is His alone to do what He will with it.

We are not promised tomorrow. I make sure I tell all who are important to me every day that I love them. Steven asked one time, why I always tell him I love him. I answered, "Because I never want you to forget it." His reply, "How could I? You tell me all the time." I feel I've done my job them. Thank you for this beautiful reminder.

So true, my wise and talented brother. It is a fundamental truth that help me so much. Today is the only day I have. Appreciate it, use it, glorify God in it. We are truly in the last hour of mankind as I sense our departure is near, as well as the rise of the antichrist. There's a lot in the wee poem. Thank you!
Sending you my very best,
Sal Xo

So well writtten! Lines like "one can't possess tomorrow" and "your next you may just borrow" make the message feel almost urgent. As if reminding us to cherish each moment as it comes. Lovely poem!

I try to live from the idea.

Learn from yesterday,
Live for today,
Hope for tomorrow.

Your poem captures this philosophy very nicely.
Thank you for sharing.

Interesting caption that creates strong imagery. Even now, the death of Two- pac continues to profound many, but your words show the importance of each day as it it our last. We can do so by making the present meaningful.God gives us ways of doing this in His word.

I'm still trying to figure out why you used a picture of Tupac. I hope you're not insinuating that he is one of "many" antichrists.

Your words lead my mind back to the old saying, "We're living on borrowed time."

Thank you for the lesson from 1John.

Neatly turned, as ever, and this time succinct as well. This is the kind of aphorism (if that's the term) I'd expect to find gracing a tombstone or one of those illuminated manuscripts.
