Lost Years

Where did all of those years go 
this question plagues us, one and all
Our days of youth now past,
but thanks to God, they were a ball

I went to bed at nineteen 
and woke up at forty-nine
I pray I get some more,
before the end of the line

The older that we get
time seems to go by so fast
Enjoy these fleeting moments
I wish they could somehow last

Like the changing of the seasons,
time is constantly changing our lives
We all must give our best,
so that our future will revive

Your right Mark, as you get older time whizzes by, we just have to make the most of it. Tom
