Lost In Time

Memories all seem like just yesterday As time brings you another birthday Where does time go, you want to know You look around it's the big four O The seconds are passing, the minutes move on Night slips away to a brand new dawn Where does time go, you want to know You look around, and you've turned five O! Each year that passes, the decades that chime Moves life forward in the passage of time Your yesteryears have gone, your tomorrows will go Where has time gone, you want to know You then realize you're on a roll Time keeps on moving and taking its toll Where does time go, you want to know It seemed like just yesterday you had a youthful glow Your vision gets blurry, your movement gets slow Where has time gone, you wish you did know But you keep writing in verse and in rhyme As another birthday is lost in, time.... 6-8-2020 Time Poetry Contest Sponsor: Chantelle Anne Cooke

Where does the time go?? Yes, I know we all ask ourselves this question. Especially when a Birthday comes around. It is always nice to reflect on days gone by. :) I think so anyway. Age is only a number, right.?? :) Hugs, Brandy

Somehow I remember reading this yesterday (though slightly different)..your introspection through journey of life resonates with me. I can certainly relate to this. All the best, Joseph.
