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.
