We Can’t Go Back Poem by Stanley Cooper

We Can’t Go Back

Rating: 5.0


I wonder whatever became of such and such
It’s too many years since we’ve all been in touch
In our youthful naivety we were innocently un-clever
Assuming our ‘then’ would be our ‘now’ and ‘then’ forever

Our roads of life we traveled turned in all directions
Those traveled stops are now has-been recollections
We sometime recall fondly much of the past
The unfortunate facts are, ‘ the past just doesn’t last’


Yesterdays are history stored in our memory bins
Recalling good and bad times, all through thick and thins
A memory is engraved in our brain like a computer data track
‘But the past just doesn’t last’ and ‘We can’t go back’

This one makes one think Stanley, our lives are always ongoing, a non-stop continual happening. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow we can't control, no more than today. Robots on this earth in a way. An excellent write. Loved it. love and hugs Ernestine XXX

NO you cant go back, however it will live in your heart forever, and if you ever need to search to bring a moment's bliss, just close your eyes and your heart will sing, memories are ment to stay that way... This is a very good write, I toally enjoyed this as I am as sentimental as they come, and my writtings display that, I am quite candid about my deep feelings of my youth, life can change, and the we can become involved with the hectic of the world's cascade of a transit invornment inwhich we all live, however NOTHING NOR NO ONE can take away your memeories..... Very good write.. Bonnie
