Gone To Soon

Looking in the sky I no longer find the traces Of billowing clouds, forming interesting faces I no longer see the man in the moon It's gone to soon This is no ranch it is just a room And I don't have a pony, it's an old corn broom It's to distance for memories to loom It's all gone to soon There's no damsel in distress She's now pushing sixty, and she's quite a mess It's a fact in which I am attuned It's all gone to soon That's no dragon or a magic frog It's a one eyed cat and a mangy old dog I'm sure they both will be asleep by noon We're all gone------- to soon

Ain't it the truth,my friend. It goes by far to fast. The memories are nice and the present is okay and the future, well, let's make the best of it.... Robert.

Simply not enough time, Jerry. Really makes me sad to think about it. A very melancholic write.
