Lesa Rodden Poet Rhyme

My Time

Where did all my time go?  
I'm in my fifties now
The last twenty years has gone
Just slipped away somehow.

Where are all my memories
If I lived all these years each day
I should feel like my life's been full
And happy it went that way

Why do I feel cheated
like I've missed out on things
I can't recall loving thoughts or joy
or events these type of feelings bring. 

I feel I must have been sleeping
And wasted my life away
I'm standing here almost seeing my end
And what used to be highlights in my hair now, is gray.

How could this have happened?
I was right where my life had just begun
I wanted so much more for me
This cannot be all I've done

I can't change what has happened
this tragedy I'll have to accept
It's sad to think the best years of my life
is a secret even from me is being kept.

So my advice to you
if you don't want to miss out
Keep your eyes wide open 
and your mind on what's here and about.
