Time

As if in a blink
Gone are the days
Rolling in the grass
Scratches, bumps, and scrapes

As if in a blink
Memories play like a movie
I am the hero, the villain
And oh yes, comic relief

As if in a blink
Awakening to the sunrise
Back pains and achy joints
As I rub my hazy Red eyes

In a blink
I am suddenly old
And gone are the days
When time was forever
