Only Live In The Now Poem by Francis Duggan

The past just a memory of what used to be
And the future is unknown to you and to me
But we can only live in the now and the now is today
And the seconds of our lives keep ticking away
The longest lived human life in time not a long span
On average a few years more for a woman than it is for a man
But the fact of the matter and fact never lie
Is the longer you live the sooner you will die
And time as is known does never stand still
It is quite as old as the ancient brown hill
The strong, fit young people today in their prime
Will eventually lose out to this thing known as time
We live in the now and time does tick on
And tomorrow will dawn and yesterday has gone.
