Time

Seconds Minutes Hours Months Years Come and go Never seeing them until it hits Never able to get it back Not able to stop it from coming That is life, Do not let that slip away Remember that is kids too One minute they are in your arms Looking at you Needing you Knowing you will protect And in a blink of an eye They don’t need you So they say They fall You swoop them up Seconds Minutes Hours Months Years Now you look at them Watch them walking down that aisle Both turn around, holding hands That kid, you held is now Married Taking care of themselves And their spouse Seconds Minutes Hours Months Years That kid you held Now is holding their own
