DAWN....

DAWN....

today will soon be the past
then tomorrow will be today
time slips away so fast
so make each moment pay
because you can't recover lost time
there is no return to yesterday
life doesn't always rhyme
and the future is a new day
lost time is gone
the past has no replay
today is a new dawn
a chance to go a new way



REST IN PEACE

PATA PATA

If the past does not have a replay many people won't be the tormented souls that they are.

But Life is really about choice. You can CHOOSE not to replay the past. Afterall, the world owes none of us a living. We make our own lives what it is and can choose not be affected by the actions of others.

The past is our strength....sort of. It should always replay - depending on what it is.

Ah, confusing!!
