FRIDAY TENSE

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present. Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. The past is always tense, the future perfect. People are all over the world telling their one dramatic story and how their life has turned into getting over this one event. Now their lives are more about the past than their future. The past is a ghost, the future a dream and all we ever have is now. You couldn't erase the past. You couldn't even change it. But sometimes life offered you the opportunity to put it right. It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.
