Into each life there comes sorrow,
Tears, and pain, and grief.
Your heart it aches for tomorrow,
When you think that you’ll find some relief.

Think not of the future.
Live only in the now.
The present’s all you ever have
But just “to be” you know not how.

Think not of future times
Dwell never in the past.
This moment which you’re living now’s
The only one to last.

If what you’re feeling brings you pain
Take comfort now in knowing,
That everything’s ephemeral
Like a breeze that’s softly blowing.

Just like Fall leaves that flutter past,
Your pain it comes and goes.
And from these passing moments,
Is how each spirit grows.

So feel each moment fully.
Reject not bad nor good.
For all are part of life’s great plan,
And cherish them you should.
