Living in the Now

LIVING IN THE NOW

H. W. Bryce

She’s living in the now, no concerns about the how.

When she starts to getting on, perhaps one day it will dawn

The living then will be so hard, when she has dropped her guard,

And she will look around and see just how much ground

She has covered since, and the thought will make her wince

’Cause the wrinkles now have spread and she’ll remember that she’d read

There are insurance plans, but she was busy kicking cans

When love was ever ripe and lovers came in every stripe.

But it comes, all unaware, and she will sit and stare

And wonder what she did when she was still a kid,

When life was all so stable. But she is still quite able

To be living in the now.  She’s infectious and she will show you how!

Party girl, dancing through her life, such a pleasant whirl.

What can be wrong when people feel so good when you sing your song?
