Regretfully Forgotten

What's happened to the moment
   always looking to the next,
While time keeps passing by us
   for reasons we forget.

Then twenty years are gone
   before we are upset,
To have missed so many moments
   for reasons we regret.

And with, moments now a lifetime
   each next one we pray not,
To have missed for no good reason
   we regret or have forgot.
