At The Stroke Of Midnight Poem by Francis Duggan

At the stroke of midnight the past will be today
And time on our lives ever ticking away
We can only live in the now as some do like to say
And each day sees us older since young we cannot stay
We only have memories of the what used to be
And the past only lives on in the memory
But to live in the now is the best i can do
Though what is for me it may not be for you
How it feels to be truly happy i would love to know
And so lucky the few who have the inner glow
Life for us has lessons and more than a few
And every day we live we learn something new
On our lives the seconds are ticking away
And at the stroke of midnight the past will be today.
