Happens To Be True Poem by Francis Duggan

The now is all that does matter as the wise one does say
And the birth of tomorrow will bring a new day
And the birth of June at the death of May
And yesterday has gone and time ticking away
Nothing in life ever does seem to last
And all we can do is to learn from the past
For our every mistake in life some price to pay
We do learn as we live it does seem this way
It is said as we age that wiser we do grow
Yet so little of life's ways i can claim to know
Though i have lived for many years and time has left my hair gray
I learn as i live something new every day
And though from life we receive what is only our due
We learn as we live happens to be true.
