I Only Can Live In The Moment Poem by Francis Duggan

Some who claim themselves to be seers claim into the future they can see
But such gifts are not mine for to talk of i cannot even say how tomorrow will be
The future i cannot look into i take it one day at a time
Just food for thought as the old saying goes another chance for me to rhyme
The seconds of our lives are ticking to minutes and hours of the day
On anyone time is not waiting it ever keeps ticking away
I was a young man of the sixties the years have left me walking slow
In life i have learned a few lessons yet so little i seem to know
Of people and the World we live in we never stop learning as some say
And it does seem for every life lesson that we do have some price for to pay
From life we are always learning and we will be for as long as we live
And it is true what the wise say about life for to receive we have to give
Of the past i only have memories and i cannot say how tomorrow will be
I only can live in the moment that is all that does matter to me.
