You Can Only Learn From Yesterday

You can only learn from yesterday for yesterday has gone And tomorrow is another day and time is ticking on The past forever in the past the future is ahead We can only live in the now as the wise one once said The present is all that matter to the present I pen this rhyme And tomorrow is not far away 'twill come in it's own time The biological clock on every life is ticking ever fast And all we have are memories and lessons of the past Good memories we always cling to and the bad we want to forget But for negative experiences of the past why waste time on regret Upon our journey through life we learn every day There is no gain without some pain as some do like to say And you can only learn from yesterday for yesterday has gone And the now is all that matters and the clock is ticking on.
