Your Past Lives As A Memory Poem by Francis Duggan

Your past lives as a memory of what has been and gone
But the now is all that does matter and time is ticking on
Our mistakes in life come to us at a cost
Though our lives darkest moments to memory not lost
Our mistakes of the past we do live to regret
And we find it hard to forgive and harder to forget
Even the happiest moments in the past we have had
To remember for us can be a little sad
But all we have left are memories of the past
And the clocks on our lives do keep ticking on fast
Laughter is the best medicine as the wise one did say
And the now is all what matters make the most of today
When tomorrow will dawn today will be gone
And life all around us as usual goes on.
