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
