I need my alone time
And wish you would give it to me
When everything is silent
I wish you would pause the discuss
Stop reminding me about yesterday
And giving the reasons to be downcast
Stop bordering me about tomorrow
And asking me to stay distressed
Can I get a moment to focus
My energy on just the present
Dear little voice of reasoning
Be still and give me some peace

A lovely piece, too often we forget to live in the here and now, why I don’t know. Someone once said that worry is the interest of a loan not paid…… what is the point of worry about tomorrow or the day after that. I myself have worried instead of TRUSTING in the higher force. Great post.
