Live In The Moment Poem by Francis Duggan

The past gone forever and the future ahead
And the now is all that does matter as the wise one has said
And tomorrow the birds will chirp and sing in the dawning gray
And life will go on as usual as it went on today
Can anyone say what the future will bring
Except we know that the nesting birds will chirp and sing
But one can only make the most of every day
Live for the moment since time ticks away
Memories of what was are ours to recall
And it is heartening to realize that your biggest worry to the worries of some do seem very small
Life is so short take it one day at a time
For we age rather quickly beyond our life's prime
The past gone forever and the future ahead
And we can only live in the moment as has often been said.
