Tied To The Past Poem by Francis Duggan

The changes keep happening and few things seem to last
But I am one of many who is tied to the past
And of the past the good memories with us do remain
Though sad times we don't wish to think of again
That it has gone forever of the past can be said
And the future for all of us does lay ahead
To the father of time we eventually do bow
And we only can live in the here and the now
That for many life does seem unfair is so true
And for millions a change of luck is overdue
That money makes us unequal to say a sad thing
Of the praises of paupers anyone never sing
I feel tied to the past there are many like me
Who try to cling to a fading memory.
