"I AM"
by Hellen Mallicoat
I was regretting 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 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.”
