We always are
So busy looking at
The past that
We miss the beauty of
The moment
We are
Living in

Even
Right now

It's so true. I love how the layout of your poem kind of reflects the tone and message, that we need to live in the present, life is fleeting, appreciate it for what it is.The poem is short, life is short. It all fits.

&quot;The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.&quot; <br /> &quot;Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if only one remembers to turn on the light.&quot;

It's short, but it's still true. Very... oh what's the word... poignant, I guess you could say. That's not the right word. The way you write it reminds me of this really good famous poet. Oh well. That was supposed to all be a compliment, anyway.
