The Tempo of Life
Like metronome just pacing time,
the years click slowly by;
adagietto overtime,
the melody’s sad cry.
A once allegro symphony
so bold and full of joy,
my life was lush and so carefree,
a moment to enjoy.
But now the times are not so quick,
the tempo slowing down;
I hear the metronome’s dull click;
this song has shed its crown.
I long for tempo primo now;
I miss those carefree days;
my symphony must not allow
these melancholy ways.
