Father Time

Tick, tock goes the clock The hands go ‘round And never stop Time does fly So says the wise The children always Ask them why For when still young Time passes slow Why this is I just don’t know But as we age And by now we see That time speeds dramatically; The months pass like days The years I’ll forever fear For as each one passes I know the end is ever near I’m not afraid of dying I know God will take me Home I’m not afraid of flying That will be left up to my soul But what I am afraid of And what it is that scares me so Is the thought of losing those I love And thought of growing old But time does pass for all alive There’s just no cheating Father Time
