Could life be fast forwarded?
Do we really need to see?
What happens in the future?
Is it how we thought it to be?
If I could go to the time
When my son’s turned 18,
Is he tall and handsome?
To be good is he keen?
What subjects does he study?
What hobbies does he pursue?
Does he love to read and write?
Of politics, does he have a clue?
But what is this urgency?
The future will come all the same,
Jumping into the future
We’ll be strangers in our own game.
Let’s live our lives to the fullest,
And savor each and every day.
Make our future the best
For us in every way.

“To be good is he keen?” That’s exactly what we parents want! This is a very nice post today and a good reminder for me about what is important.
Thank you Lisa. Sometimes I really want to fast forward just to see that my son turned out be good, but then till I show him the way today, that tomorrow won’t happen.
Amen. http://marthakennedy.wordpress.com/2014/01/11/pee-here-now-daily-prompt/
