So Many Would Like

So many would like for to go back in time For to live again in their physical prime But the past for us is only a memory And we cannot physically return to the what used to be People grow older and time ticks away And every dawning brings us nearer to our lives final day The old have their wisdom the young have their youth And mortality for us remains as a truth At the stroke of midnight today will be gone And the now is all that does matter and time does tick on Of the what used to be only memories remain Physically we cannot return to the past again Time it does not wait it just ticks on and on We live in the now and yesterday has gone.
