An Ode to a "Previous Life"

Your "previous life" was a life before ya.
A life a fore your current being.
Your "previous life" slipped away in a day a fore ya.
Now that day is away unseen.
Your "previous life" is never to play again ya.
This "new life" is deep within.
Your "previous life" was formative to ya.
And, your "new life' informs again and again.
