Your Past May Be Gone Poem by Francis Duggan

Your past may be gone but memories of it with you will remain
And the mental images you do retain
Of people you knew in the long ago
When you were far younger long before time became your foe
The people you knew in your teen years and physical prime
Whom in physical appearance would have changed over the Seasons of time
Today them if you did meet them you may not recognize
That most people change as they age is not any surprise
Tomorrow will dawn and yesterday has gone
And the clocks on our lives ever keep ticking on
Live in the present as the wise one does say
Make the most of the now and the now is today
Good and bad memories are all we retain of the past
And our biological clocks ever keep ticking fast.
