Lost Time

I woke up one day to find that I had aged ten years overnight I couldn't believe when I looked in the mirror that things were not all firm and tight Where did my life go where was I now how did those days sneak by One day I was taking care of my child the next thing i know i saw time fly My children were grown almost out of the house how could this happen to me I want those days back I want to know how and what things happened to be Nothing is bringing me any answers no one is giving a clue I'm so sad,so lost and confused just don't know what to do It took therapy to teach me of time lost and more therapy to try to get it back Truth is I turned on cruise control when everything seemed out of whack So I lost a big chunk of my life through nobody's fault not my own If I wan t to remember what happened then I have to go back and be shown L.
