Oh, Wonderful Life

Oh, wonderful life

minutes-hours-days-nights-weeks-months 

years, seasons, decades

the world is turning so fast

I can’t keep on top of it


Written December 2015 for 
the Time is of the essence -Tanka- - Poetry Contest of C.T.

Frederic Parker Date: 12/11/2015 2:11:00 PM News flash my poetic friend, the older you get the faster it turns, days become minutes, months become a week, years turn into a few months, decades become a couple years.Yesterday I held my sons in my hands, today I hold their daughters...so fast..so fast...good luck in the contest..and yes life is wonderful...

Andrea Dietrich Date: 12/11/2015 2:41:00 PM of course I know that, Frederic. That is why I wrote the poem. My oldest grandson already has passed me up in height!!
