What To Us Has Been Lost Poem by Francis Duggan

For our every mistake we have some price to pay
But the best we can do is to live in the day
Since the past it has gone to the forever more
And who knows what the future for us has in store
As in most things in life the winners take all
And the losers few ever do wish to recall
This is how it is and it always will be
The winners live on in written history
We cannot change what has happened yesterday since yesterday has gone
We can only live in the now and life does go on
Make the most of your day you'll be forever dead
For who is to know of you what lay ahead
Our mistakes in life come to us at a cost
And we cannot regain what to us has been lost.
