-- Lilting Song of the Day -- John Herlihy The past we already lived in, Ample time has now gone by. Valued moments lost in a bin, Memories we hear as a sigh. The future as enticing promise, Beckoning us with bony finger. Hope-filled to serve as solace, Wistful thoughts always linger. Better today than tomorrow, The existing hour unfolds real. The future as time on borrow, Idle moments there to steal. Time lost with the day gone; Listen now to its lilting song. - - - - - - Copyright © John Herlihy Thursday 1 July 2021

THIS IS AN INTERESTING WAY TO LOOK AT EACH NEW DAY OF OUR LIFE...LIKE A NEW SONG THAT WE SING WITH THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY, AS IT SLOWLY PASSES AWAY. THANKS FOR SHARING, MY FRIEND...LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

When time is lost we need to search for it in our memory,
and keep it alive, I think sometimes your poems contain a tune John :)

I listened for the song in your poem and didn't hear it. Instead I was told that our lives are short and we must use all the moments we have before they are gone.

You've taken a slightly different look at aging than I did with "Fifteen Summers Left" - micro-story. But, your imaging is complimentary to the aging process and as such, hopefully will take the sting out that many dread as they age. So far, gathering reflections as age continues is more akin to nirvana for me.
