I’m not what I was yesterday,
Tomorrow I won’t be like today,
I change between even morning to midday,
I’m finding myself different every day.
I don’t do what I was doing yesterday,
Tomorrow I’ll do something different than today,
Doing it differently every moment on the same day,
I’m being more aware each and every day.
I don’t know if I call it a fun-day,
Tomorrow will be more joyful, I always say,
Feeling so happy, more and more merry-day,
I don’t know, what strange sadness will say!
Should I carry the past, clinging to yesterday?
Who knows about tomorrow, people say,
If I have lived it right today, shall I get one more day?!
Grateful for every moment of each day, I always dream and pray.
Yes, my affection is not what it was yesterday,
Tomorrow I will love You more than today,
Changing every moment, listening to what You say,
I’m finding You more lovable with each passing day.
To change means to be alive. When something stops changing, it starts decaying. When a person starts referring to the past, it’s sign that he has exhausted his wit and wisdom to enjoy the present and ability to graciously look for the future. At some stage in life, most people stop changing and then they always keep babbling about good ol’ days and keep brining past into the conversation. Well, that’s the sign, the fellow is old now. From now on he’ll just exist, and won’t be as vibrant as he used to be.
On the contrary, person with vigor will never have a moment to waste ruminating the past, because he enjoys present thoroughly and there is not a fraction of moment left to escape anywhere!
Krishna, left Gokul for Mathura and never returned. Left Mathura for Dwaraka never looked back. And after kurukshetra, of course, there was nothing to go back to. He could have visited his pals at Gokul for sweet reunion but he didn’t. Because he was always enjoying the happening.
Remember, every moment wasted in thinking about the past, reduces the possibility of joyful time in present.
