The Mystery

In Creation's great endeavor
Nothing is more confusing
Than the past and the future
We mortals cannot comprehend
The tasks set before us
Nor do we understand
The toil we have done
Living in the now
Is all we can do
Yet people remorse about things long gone
Dream the impossible for those yet to come
Disregarding today
They leave themselves miserable
Memories once enjoyed
Are intangible never filling
Hopes give something to reach for
But nothing to grasp on to
Just turn your vision from what’s behind
Open your eyes to what’s around
Look what the Universe has given you!
You have a life to live
What more can you ask of that
Which gave you existence foremost
And created your for glory
