Eyes On the Horizon

His eyes were always on the horizon
Where his longing for the future had no end
For the world spun moving fast
And he meant to be the one to last

Until it occurred to him one day
That his life was wasting away
So he looked around at the world
Seeing all the wonders to be held.
