Time Flies By

Time Flies By By Kevin L Fairbrother As we grow older, time just seems to fly We welcome the new day and in no time Well, we are looking at the night sky … We forget to do what we had just done We can’t do what we used to, but try We have to watch our diet both day and night … A night sleep is always interrupted As the medication keeps us awake And the bladder, well mate- it just won’t wait … The past we wondered how we coped Raising a family with a full time job Now it’s a full time job just remembering What we need and what someone tells us … We have no need of a fancy watch For it would have no hope, of keeping up So we spend our time living in the past To stop the time from speeding up … Crowds of people, create too much noise And driving in traffic brings us no joy We look for somewhere quite to hide Spend our time saying sorry, I did not hear … The younger generation doesn’t understand For they, challenge with what would you, know The past is so different from what is now So back in your corner, old man … Growing old is a race to the grave A race that we will never win For medication just keeps us going As we wait our time in a rocking chair For time means nothing... It, just flies by
