Paying my future with the present

That's always a tricky one. But if the present is where you want to be now, that should pave the future you want then....
I don't know if that makes sense... but one thing I learnt from my late Mum is she put too many things on hold thinking she would have time later and she didn't ... so if I can enjoy the now, then it's already worth the while...

Nice one, I am recommending your poetry for a curation post :)
