I AM

I was regreting 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."
- Helen Mallicoat.
