Embrace the NOW @memarwoo

Topic - The present

Embrace the ‘now’ for worry is a waste of

time,

and if, tomorrow, there’s a mountain you

must climb,

take one step at a time and you will soon

see how

much easier it is when you embrace the

‘now.’

For now is all that matters, it’s all that exists.

Don’t look too far ahead or you will find

you’ve missed

the magic moments, whilst you have been seeking strife.

Embrace the ‘now’ and savour it

and live your life.

A small bio about you:

I’m a mum of three and have been writing poetry for as long as I can remember. Over the years I’ve had several poems published in both National and local press and a poem published in an anthology. I’m known in my circle of friends for taking a well known song and changing the lyrics to create a humorous, alternative version. I hope, one day, to publish a book of poetry and a book of my philosophies.
