This is well written and presented.
Your emotions come shining through this verse, as your words without doubt, will help those who need them and spread compassion to those that do not.
Terrific contest entry, good luck!

Very true for mindfulness. The photo was perfect. Wonderful idea for the separation in stanzas(yesterday, tomorrow, and this moment). Your last line was an excellent choice and it leaves the reader with a reminder of hope.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
It is funny, but in a child's life there is no past or future, they always live in the present and we can learn to do the same as this is all we have, the past has gone and we have no idea what the future will bring, a poignant write, love Dolly x

Comment from royowen
It's true that the only useful time that we have available to us is right at this very moment. The past is gone, we can't redeem it, the future at this stage is unattainable, so this is it. Beautifully written 3/6/9, good luck, blessings Roy

Comment from Janet Foor
Your well written 3-6-9 poem reminds me of a Bill Keane quote.:
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift from God, that's why they call it the present.
Good work with this piece.

Reso,
Nicely done 3-6-9 poem about how depression feels. It can change if one gets therapy or medication. I don't know how good this works or if it works for everyone at different rates. There is hope for some happiness for the rest of a life that is to be lived.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Good luck in the contest.

It's true when they say live in the present. You can't change the past and you can't predict the future. So this moment is all you can controll. The mind can be the enemy when it goes to worse case scenarios. Your poem was a brilliant look at the darkness that can envelop us .

So very true, we do live in the moment. There is not much we can do about it. The world is moving on. The present doesn't want to conform, and the past... Well, the past we can learn from.

If we are wise, yes, exactly, stepping stones or stumbling blocks they are one in the same but used in drastically different ways with merely a shift of perspective. That?s our choice in which way we choose to see the situation at hand. Thank you for your deep reflective insight .

Your contest entry read well, Reso22. Great job with the
syllable count. The words flowed smoothly with good end
rhymes/near rhyme. I like the way each verse was about a
specific time. The last verse had a great message. We all
need to focus on the present and live for the moment. We
can't undo the past or know what the future may hold.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest, Jan
