Relentless Time
As time ticks by relentlessly
we look back and wonder
where the hours and days have gone
they seem to have passed in a blink
When young we squander time
not yet understanding it's value
the years stretch out endless
we think nothing of yesterday
Yet as we age it seems to fly
now we take note and savour
each precious second, each memory
filling the pages of life
Age comes to all with the aches and pains
now we can relax and enjoy the hot sun
take time to enjoy simplicity
hoping for it to slow to our pace
But those seconds tick on relentless
time marches on regardless
have we filled the pages wisely?
as it comes time to pass on.
