2004 Poem by Jonathan Goldman a.k.a JGthepoet

On the first of January across the World
It is New Year’s Day,
When hopes for Life can be bold,
For the past has gone away.
Into History it has gone,
And by others will be told,
But the Future is for us all to live,
As day-by-day we come
To find obstacles in our way,
Which must be conquered by all,
If we are to enjoy this Life,
And not have a great fall.

2004 is with us now,
The Future is great to see,
The Past we can do nought about,
But to Live, in the Present we be.
We cannot change the Past,
Our Future is yet to come,
The Present is what we must care about,
For us and everyone.
