Moment

Quote By Poet "I do not know where the time goes.
It just goes running away."

I do not know where the time goes,
from the opening of a day to it's close.
It just goes running away,
time will not stay here to play.
Life is made up of time,
some good times or some sad times we must climb.
These times will be very special,
with a moment sprinkled in our life's vessel.
Everyone can remember their first kiss,
a very special moment in time we did not miss.
I can still remember a teacher embarrassing me,
it was not a good moment in time I just wanted to flee.
Moment and time walk hand and hand,
it may not be what we have planned.

Excellent Paula, I don’t know where the times goes either, it does seem to go faster the older we get. A great moment poem and quote. Keep writing, Belle

My dad said the same as your aunt and I used to think that it was nonsense, soon realised it was true, the older one grows the faster time flows. Belle

Thanks for stopping over. Glad you found my write to be excellent/a great moment poem/quote. That puts a smile on my heart. Thanks... When I was young, my dear aunt would say time went by faster as we got older. I did not believe her/now I see what she was talking about. Have a blessed/wonderful day............
