Past is past šŸ˜Š

Past is history

Locked and concealed

It taught what was MeantĀ 

It can never be retrievedĀ 

Ā 

Past is goneĀ 

Never to returnĀ 

It'll never be same againĀ 

Closed forever in life's bookĀ 

Ā 

Past will never comeĀ 

It'll never repeatĀ 

It's a game well playedĀ 

Scores always to keepĀ 

Ā 

Past can never be futureĀ 

It gives so much reliefĀ 

Never going back to what wasĀ 

Always moving on towards what's in storeĀ 

Ā 

Past shouldn't be relivedĀ 

It's not worth itĀ 

For who wants to live it twiceĀ 

No matter how good or viceĀ 

Ā 

Past is a chapterĀ 

In the book of lifeĀ 

Written and savedĀ 

But never to be rereadĀ 

Ā 

Past is overĀ 

Present is a giftĀ 

Which we openĀ 

In future to live
