Timeless Existence by Mattie Stepanek

It is nice when people
Notice you are present, but
It is important when people
Notice you are absent.
It is said that “absence
Makes the heart grow fonder.”
We should rather that “presence
Makes the heart grow fondest.”
Then, even when we are
Gone into our future,
We still live in
The present of our past.

Mattie J. T. Stepanek
Poet, Peacemaker
1990 – 2004
