"The past cannot be changes; the future is yet in your power."- Mary Pickford
My mother told me to live in the present; that I shouldn’t look for the future or seek the past. However some days, minutes, years later I learned about this place called heaven; I’m sure you have heard of it: A place superior to earth, to anything, to anyone and the basics steps to get there were as simple as being good. But heaven as I’ve been told lays in the future, something I was once told not to worry about. Around this time I was taught by my mother herself that I was to learn from my past. And that’s when I became uncertain on the concept of living before, now or then. To follow mother’s teachings in their entirety I was to learn from my past, to think about heaven but still be able to live in the present. To learn from the past, live in the present and aspire for the future. At the end of the day, it’s really your decision how you want to live your life, past, present or future and for this reason I picked poems about living in every one of these, being able to captivate those who live or aspire to live in anyone of these tense.
