Poem by: Helen Mallicoat

I was regretting the past and fearing the future.
Suddenly my Lord was speaking:

"MY NAME IS I AM"

He paused.
I waited. He continued,

"When you live in the past with its mistakes and regrets, it is hard. I am not there.
My name is not I Was.

When you live in the future, with its problems and fears, it is hard. I am not there.
My name is not I Will Be.

When you live in this moment, it is not hard. I am here.
My name is I AM.
