Life and Time

As the years of life catch up with me 
I see the things I use to be. I see the child 
I once was, I feel my parents and their love. 
I see my teenage years; I was so strong 
the days went fast, and time went on. 

I see the people I use to know; we had fun 
and were always on the go. As a young man 
I went to the military. I just missed the moment 
I could have been buried. My work life 
was so much fun; I did what I did and got 
a lot done. 

The girls in my life were not very many. The 
hunt for love didn't find any. Romance and 
love is  one of best things to find mind
it clam your heart with the beat of time. 
Especially when you find the one that's right.
it's hello to all and good night. 

Today, all that has been left behind; what is left 
are the impressions on my mind. It's almost 
like it never happened; that's the thing that keeps 
me laughing. Today, I have a pen in my hand, 
thinking about my next goal or plan. 

I'm still alive wondering what's next. It is something 
but I don't know yet. One doesn't finish with life 
until life is finished with you. I'm so glad the sun 
still shines and most skies are  blue. Most of all 
the I can't hide I'm so happy I'm still alive!!!!
