Once upon a time
The future seemed far off in the distance
We listened to them complain
How time flies by so quickly
Then we were there, so suddenly
We hardly knew how we’d gotten here
Couldn’t help but look behind us
Just to check
Where did the time go?
It had been used up so thoroughly
Unchangeable and permanent
We turned around and looked forward
Straight past the horizon
To the new future
We’d be more careful with this one
Plan-Prepare-Organize-Prioritize
Only to realize
What is a future
Without today ?
Only a moment in passing

Is not life beautiful in ITs prosperous glory
And doesn't all scripture tell a morallity story
Of peace of mind too lesuire to all kind
But apply it with will want and pleasure
And truely search And openly find
A boX of openly rich treasure.
