Only this moment is real

Only this moment is real, only in the now can we live,
Only this moment we can feel, only in the now can we give.
The pain may have carried through, the heartache may linger within,
But your life you can renew, a new journey you can begin.

Yesterday may have lost it way, tomorrow is just full of dreams,
But your heart lives in today, though that may not be what it seems.
Joy can be in your life again, Laughter can once more fill the air,
Even if, in stillness you remain, and uncertain of getting there.

Feel your heart beating within you, let it drift you into tomorrow,
For it knows there’s a better view, that you can leave behind the sorrow.
Let the wounds of the past heal, let the spirit within you thrive,
For only this moment is real, and in this moment we are alive.
