A Choka poem for the Japanese Club

Past, Present and Future

by June Sargent



Year-end review of

our past, present and future

may overwhelm us ~

leaving mistakes and regrets

of the past behind,

letting the future unfold

with an open heart

and embracing the present ~

is a gift you give yourself.
