"Now"

I've been sad all day and I couldn't figure out why. I asked the Holy Spirit what to do today and he said to write a poem about motherhood. I couldn't find the right words for it and tried a few times before trying to write a quick haiku - to say the most truth in the fewest words. This is what came out... Not necessarily a poem about motherhood, but the deepest feelings I am having because I am a mother now. Time is passing so quickly and it feels like I already have regrets about how I'm raising my son and handling this precious time and life I've been given. So much wasted time worrying and wondering if  I'm doing good enough and thinking about my fears for the future. But a regret-full heart will only fail me and hurt me more in the end. So I remember that all I have is now and that is all I will ever have to live the best and fullest that I can.
