L Milton Hankins Poet Light Verse

Time Creeps Up

Time creeps up on us ever so slowly
Snatching up our youth and vigor,
Sometimes making us feel so lowly
Hence our Bentwood and our liquor.
Time went faster looking back on
Recalling those bygone days of bliss,
Only today, since yesterday is gone
Hungering for just that one more kiss.

Caren Krutsinger June 15, 2022 at 7:17 AM Time does creep - great verb that goes well with this particular noun. L Milton Hankins June 15, 2022 at 9:51 AM Amazing how, as we age, time seems to go faster. I remember as a child thinking Christmas would never come. Now, it comes all too fast.

Tom Cunningham June 13, 2022 at 12:14 PM It certainly does Milton and I find as you get older it seems to speed up. We just have to make the most of every minute. Tom L Milton Hankins June 13, 2022 at 4:15 PM So true, Tom. I agree.
