Notes About The Poem

- Past Is Past -

A second passes ~ an eye blink
Do not sit there and memorize the past
Minutes ticking ~ they are history
As the hours go by and life goes on
Memories we choose to take care of

The days turn into weeks ~ months and years
We have learned ~ grown and survived
No days can be returned
although some may seem superfluous
Life lesson is to remember what really matters
