Bob Quigley Poet Quintain (English)

Moving On

Yesterday's a memory 
Tomorrow's not yet here
Today is where I want to be
Farewell to the old year
Yet another lingers near

The past held good and troubled days
Lo, the future's still unknown
So today I'll toast my present ways
And reap what I have sown
Where time is mine alone
