"Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow."

A statement that can be applied perfectly to my life at the moment. The term "present" strikes a chord with me too. Sometimes we miss the present and long for the future. Sometimes we miss the present and linger in the past. The present is a gift of nature which should be cherished, otherwise it becomes the past, never to return.
I always hear about the past being a golden time. I mention it at times too. Why do we say that? Is it because the present is not so good, which makes the past appear better? The reason is because we did not cherish the moment and the moment slipped through our hands. Rather than living and enjoying the moment, we probably day dreamt and the moment passed. How ignorant of us!!!
The present is a gift, which should be lived as is, no strings attached.

'Present' is the only time which we can cherish and utilize. Its good to think about future and forget the past, but its not good to not think about present and forget it. Very well written as usual!
