about weeks end seconds

Every Sunday, I say to myself, 
Sunday already, Monday already,
Then the week goes by quickly,
Already Tuesday, Already Saturday,
Every Sunday, I say to myself,

Life is made of seconds,
We can’t stop them,
Can’t forget Lucille, or Marion.

Every Sunday, I say to myself,
Already Sunday, already Monday,
Already Thursday, Already Saturday,
The weeks are very similar,
They go by like seconds.

Yes, Yann, I agree, especially as I get older. One week just melts into the next. You describe it so well…

I enjoyed reading your creative "about weeks end seconds" write. Great ending... Time goes by so fast. I need 2 or 3 more days to a week. Have a fun day writing away.......
