The Whirl of Time

When I was young
I attempted to keep pace with it,
I felt its arms, 
sometimes cool,
sometimes as a fool
go round me;
it felt wonderful 
at the beginning,
but later,
when I stepped into old age
I completely got the fact
Not to love but destroy me
And as many say and said
“ C’est la vie”
