Five Minute Friday – Present

“Writing is like wrapping yourself in words and giving yourself away.” ~@lisajobaker

Present: being, existing, or occurring at this time or now; current:

In the school room the teacher calls my name.
I respond, “PRESENT!”

I don’t want the teacher to miss me.

I don’t want to miss out.

I want to be present,

I have to be present

not only in body but also in mind and spirit.

Otherwise, I’ll miss the part that is especially for me.

I’ll leave half full, wanting, even perhaps empty.
