To Watch and Learn
That, every moment comes and goes,
That, every wind whistles and passes,
That, every lightning strikes and dies,
That, every flower blossoms and falls
Something is there to watch and learn,
And to learn and to do, and to do it NOW,
For, today belongs to you and me,
But, tomorrow belongs to the GOD.
That, every wind whistles and passes,
That, every lightning strikes and dies,
That, every flower blossoms and falls
Something is there to watch and learn,
And to learn and to do, and to do it NOW,
For, today belongs to you and me,
But, tomorrow belongs to the GOD.

Welcome to DU...
Thank you for sharing this.
A lot of wisdom in it.
I was wondering how you feel about something different on this line...
"And to learn and to do, and to do it NOW"
Possibly...
"To learn and to do, to do it NOW"
Or
"Learning to do and doing it NOW"
You'd know better than me, I was just feeling the repetitive "and" alongside the repetitive "to" was hiding the message in the twist of the tongue and slowing of the eye.
None the less solid poetry. Tjank ypu for sharing the words

I like the way your poem takes things which are ephemeral and passing - and relates them to the eternal. Welcome to DUP. Best regards, Josh.
