Tim Riding Poet Sonnet

Of Times To Come

Of times to come

	How sad it feels to see age struggle past,
	It shuffles, slowly pained by aches unknown
	Reminding me that soon the time must come
	When youth has from this vibrant body flown.
	Already time has taken yet its toll
	Through years of toil in search of happiness,
	But watching now I wonder would they share
	My inner fears, or simply not care less?
	Perhaps I'm wrong in what I think I see
	Of thoughts that come from clouded, vacant eyes,
	Contentment with the life that hobbles by
	Would fill my heart with joy and sweet surprise.
		Yet still I fear the future may just be,
		A body slowly losing what was me.
