Answer Well

Answer Well

I weep for what was

Yearning for comfort I reminisce
and remember

If allowed, 
I could stay here a very long time

But the past holds not my potential
only lessons that
when practiced
prepare me more

For the joys ahead and 
the sorrows yet to come

How will I live my life yet lived?

The future is determined in
the smallness of each moment's choice

What shall I carry?
What shall I leave behind?
What shall I cherish?
What shall I protect?

In each moment
With each choice
We answer the questions
of life

Answer carefully.
Answer lovingly.
Answer well.
