Only Of What Was

It is true that one only can learn from the past
And only of what was the memories do last
Time will not wait for you as it did not wait for me
But we learn as we live is how it seems to be
At the stroke of midnight today will be gone
And for most tomorrow will dawn and life will go on
And some will be born to life and some will die
Since the fact us humans are mortals and fact never lie
In life every day some new challenge to meet
And for this thing known as success people with each other compete
The contented of mind are in minority
Whilst the others compete on their climb on the social tree
But it is true that one only can learn from the past
And only of what was the memories do last.
