Forever Is Much Sooner

Forever is much sooner than it seems When anticipation fuels imagination, Filling up a child’s fancied daydreams Forever is much sooner than it seems, Fashioned as it is in fantastic schemes Complete with fanciful consummation, Forever is much sooner than it seems When anticipation fuels imagination.

Time does go by quicker as you get older Milton but your right as a child it went by slower. I wonder why that is? I have lost so many friends and their forever ended. Each day should be lived to the fullest for we don't know when we will take our last breath. It was an inspiration to read this Milton. It reminded me of living fully and calling old friends and living my life and not having no regrets to look back on. Thank you for writing your Poetic thoughts are always refreshing to read...

Time always went so slowly when I was a kid...like time until school would be out, or, when Santa would come. Now, it rolls by all too quickly.
