The Now Is All That Matters Poem by Francis Duggan

The now is all that matters the past it has gone
Yesterday is a memory and life does go on
Feel happy you are living for to greet a new day
Since the seconds of our lives ever ticking away
So many i've known will not hear the birds sing
Or see the fruit trees in their blooms of the Spring
The morning is chilly the Winter sky gray
It is good to be living despite what some say
You may feel depressed in the poor side of the town
Without any success and financially down
Out of work out of money and with life struggling to cope
But like it is said where there's life there is hope
The future is waiting and the past it has gone
And the clock on our lives ever keeps ticking on.
