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
