Yesterday Has Gone Poem by Francis Duggan

The Seasons do come and the Seasons do go
And eventually time becomes everyone's foe
The boy of the fifties is showing time's decay
One might say he has known of a far better day
The memories are all we retain of the past
And the clocks on our lives ever keep ticking fast
We only can learn from the yesterday
And live in the now as some are known to say
Like the food that we eat on us a use by date
With other life forms we share a common fate
For our lessons in life always some price to pay
We learn as we live it does seem this way
We live in the now and time does tick on
And tomorrow will dawn and yesterday has gone.
