Past It Has Gone

Some tell us from life we receive our due But others will tell you that this is not true We learn as we live something new every day We never stop learning since life is this way Some people waste their time regretting their mistakes of the past Whilst the clock on their lives ever keeps ticking fast But the past we can only learn from and life does go on And at the stroke of midnight today will be gone To live in the now is the best we can do This applies to me and will apply to you We only have memories of the past and the future a mystery And as is often said what will be will be The past it has gone and what is done is done And tomorrow will dawn but not for everyone We can only live in the now and the now is today And the clocks on our lives ever ticking away.
