Present Presence

The best gift,
The very best present
Is your presence
In this moment,
Attending to the here and now.

Put down the phone,
Turn off the noise,
Look me in the eyes
Let me see
Us reflected in those pools
Of endless possibilities.

Live with me now.
Let the past buried.
Look to the future
But don’t live in its plans
Because we aren’t guaranteed tomorrow.
