Past, Future, Present
The past has been an embarrassing blooper
Spying on the present like a jealous snooper
Never been much of a promise keeper
Turning soon into a miserable weeper
Bragging always about the good old days
Urging the present to sing its praise.
Future gives hope but keeps on guessing
Compared to present it's quite a blessing!
Dreams endlessly in heavenly places
Showers with love ambiguous graces
Promises nothing that's worth anything
Mesmerizes coyly obscuring everything.
Present tells tales about the past and the future
It can be a keeper, weeper, or a dream maker
Or cruel, hate, hell, despair, grasping for air
Or hope, love, joy, heaven, granting a prayer.
