'This'

 Even though 'this' is not picture-perfect it is all we have. 

We should cherish it for who knows what morrow's 'this' will be...

This day grants a rainy-day inkwell;-) thank-you, rainy-windy-freezing cold May day;-)

Futile to fret for what is not

Nor let Thought plunder Past’s abyss

Better to look at what we’ve got

And seek to make the best of 'this'

For soft and swift the ‘This’ we clasp

Will disappear without a sound

Into a fathom ever-cast

Where none the key to it has found

Therefore, before we turn to crave

The ‘this’ we had but missed somehow

We should look well at what we have

And make the utter-best of Now
