THE PAST PRESENT



The Past Present

You live in the past
Over and over
Each time you
Come alive 

I've been there before
So many times
Except for 
The first time

I quietly listen
For in your past
I spoke up
Not noticed

My sisters and I
Live in the now
Not sure why
We wonder

Your past was better
Ours wasn't great
You had fun
No sadness

I used to dread
Your past visits
Then I saw
Your present

I love my present
You love your past
I'll listen again
With interest
