I AM

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 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.
