Time escapes

Time is a funny thing, A fluid, jumping, bumping, running thing. It’s something you can never catch, You beg for it to speed up, as time drags on, And you’re just waiting, and then… Bam You’re on a speeding train hurtling along a track. You drag your feet and try to turn back. You beg time to just slow down, turn back Let you savor the journey. One moment you’re a kid, begging time to just speed up, You want to grow up fast. Then all of a sudden, faster than your head hits the pillow, You’re an adult watching time speed past you. Everything is moving too fast, and life is too short. Your kids grow up faster than you did, becoming adults in the blink of an eye. And you wonder Where did all the time go?
