Nico Jagga Poet Lyric

Time

Time Passes Slowly 
Bobby Dylan said
When I was young and I  
sought to conquer 
my own Everest 
I suppose he was right
But then,as time passed ,
And the conquering of Everest 
became a daily fight
I realized with a fright
When Bobby Dylan said that,
He himself was still young
And now at seventy plus
 I am sure
Bobby will agree

Time actually moved so fast
 Today, i still endeavour 
 to conquer my own Everest
I realize now that I overtook 
my own youth
And I am freewheeling to my 
old age
Time oh precious commodity
Full of humor and irony
Why else would you only pass 
slow to the youthful and 
young?
I can't write like Bobby Dylan 
nor a song like him can I sing
But if I could 
I would 
place this lament 
before his door
Time flies and that's for sure
