Make The Most Of The Now

Since you cannot live in the good years long gone
Make the most of the now for time is ticking on
The longest human life in time not a lengthy span
So do make the most of it whilst you can
The past it has gone the future is to look to
But you must live in the now that is all you can do
And only the memories that do remain
Of what for you has been but cannot be again
Since we are born as mortals and death is for us all
In the face of time the greatest of human achievements seem small
So try to be happy and enjoy every day
For time on our lives does keep ticking away
The past it has gone and the future ahead
Make the most of the now for we'll be forever dead.
