The Past Is Gone Forever Poem by Francis Duggan

The past is gone forever and what is done is done
And there's not much point in talking of what's been lost and won
And there's not much point in regretting the mistakes you have made
That have cost you a small fortune and for which you have dearly paid.

The past is gone forever and you ought to leave it go
It's like yesterday's water that under the bridge did flow
On it's journey to salt water and it cannot return
And the past too gone forever though from it we can learn.

The past is gone forever and time keeps ticking on
And not much point in worrying over what has been and gone
And the present is what matter for we can only live in the now
And the future is ahead of us though to father time we bow.

The past is gone forever I heard the old bloke say
And he is over eighty and his hair is silver gray
We can only live in the present and the future is ahead
And we cannot stop the hands of time nor we cannot bring back the dead.

The past is gone forever it is now a memory
And it is beyond changing we cannot change history
And we live in the present and the present is today
And the future is ahead of us and it has always been this way.
