Life's Passing

Remembering when a single street light brights Days of when kids went out and play In the streets running wild, out of trouble Playing to nearly bed, break for supper Bats flew dark nights in hunt for prey Watching them dive after rock thrown Hide and seek, tag your it To be a kid was to live life Adults taught well, morals with perspective We now today tell them go away No guidance do we care, play a game Do something with you, don't bother me Life's Passing, when we used care of who we are Now just lost in drama of life's beat Everyday trials the struggles we find real Fun of life, put to the side line Now living of adulthood has come to eyes The understanding, how good it was to be a kid Days we love another no matter color of skin Days when mankind knew of heart's kindness We came together, partied like no tomorrow Life's Passing, tomorrow today's present Living in moment no time given Even our own have we fallen to world defiance Now my own I await darkness days Only in memory, deep from the grave
