Phyllis Babcock Poet Free verse

Passage of Time

The days turn into night
how quickly they pass by
from day to day
then from year to year
time runs away
minutes that come and go
moments lost in time
how quickly they pass
as a young person
it seemed so long
as a old person
we wonder where it went
so as days turn into night
and minutes and hours pass by
remember time does slip away.

The Situation July 20, 2023 at 5:08 PM years have shown us this. I suppose every on has a time piece. OK I just had an idea. Write a piece Titled "How to tell Time" well it's an idea. Phyllis Babcock July 21, 2023 at 5:14 PM That is a good idea for a poem. How to tell time would certainly age me. lol thanks love phyl

John Loving Iii June 22, 2023 at 7:00 PM Oh I know so well. The mind has ways of speeding it up and slowing it down. Slow are days in prison and fast are the days of a break. Phyllis Babcock July 17, 2023 at 11:39 AM Thanks John. Hope you are keeping cool with your hot weather. Keep well. love phyl
