I Object

The years slowly crept by
 looking back it came fast
I did not realize that time
can move that fast 
to leave us wondering
in a daze pondering
where did it go.
Each day seems faster 
each night a blur
children grew
grandchildren too
who was to know
age would start to show
in  reflection
--- voicing a rejection
want a retraction
a age reduction
on the close
of another year.

Hello Phyllis … so true indeed. We gather so many memories without realizing the time that has passed to accumulate them - thank you Phyllis - Lindsay
