The Gift

a poem by Roxanne

The past you can never change
for it is forever gone
you can’t take back your mistakes
but you can start anew at dawn.

The future is still ahead of you
for it has not yet arrived
your dreams and goals can still be reached
don’t let them be deprived.

The time right now you have on earth
should be very pleasant
today is a gift from him to you
and that’s why it’s called the present.
