I wonder whatever became of such and such <br />It’s too many years since we’ve all been in touch <br />In our youthful naivety we were innocently un-clever <br />Assuming our ‘then’ would be our ‘now’ and ‘then’ forever <br /> <br />Our roads of life we traveled turned in all directions <br />Those traveled stops are now has-been recollections <br />We sometime recall fondly much of the past <br />The unfortunate facts are, ‘ the past just doesn’t last’ <br /> <br /> <br />Yesterdays are history stored in our memory bins <br />Recalling good and bad times, all through thick and thins <br />A memory is engraved in our brain like a computer data track <br />‘But the past just doesn’t last’ and ‘We can’t go back’<br /><br />Stanley Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-can-t-go-back/
