In Your Private Moments

In your private moments have you ever wept for the past For the good days for you that did not seem to last Your legs wearied by time can no longer walk fast And nowadays the clouds of your mind at most times overcast Near the end of the journey that leads us to death A short walk often has you struggling for breath Most of us tire rather easily beyond our life's prime Eventually we all become victims of time Live in the now is the best you can do This goes for everyone and does include you Yesterday's babies are ageing today And on their life's journey are on their way Nostalgia gives rise to sadness as we come to realize When you think of the past do tears come to your eyes The past it has gone and the future is what is to be And you can only live in the now would you not agree?
