One Foot

One Foot

© by Bud Lemire on April 20, 2019

One foot in the future, one foot in the past

We think about the present, never knowing it won't last

We daydream about the past, and what the future will be

Changes come along, that we just couldn't see

We end up in places, we never thought we'd be

In a time we traveled, to fulfill our destiny

“How did this happen?” is what you say

With the Universe, it always finds a way

What a journey, that life brings us through

Never knowing, just where we're going to

You get on at the start, with hopes of what you'll find

Ending up somewhere else, it just blows your mind

Sometimes you kind of know, where you're going to

Yet, you never know, what you will go through

In time, it's all about the journey you make

And all the chances, that you're going to take

I was caught in a place, time held me there

Then it set me free, and I went everywhere

We think about the present, never knowing it won't last

With one foot in the future, and one foot in the past

Life is amazing when time is involved. Our lives take on a

completely different meaning than what we ever thought it

would be from the beginning. We see things differently. We

become totally different people. We can't see the future, and

when it gets here, it's not always what we expected. And yet,

there are many wonderful surprises along the way.
