Time's Disarray

Just a second  -no,  wait
 it's the hours of the day,
  sixty minutes plus fading in the fray;
no,
 it's the weeks lost in the months,
  actions and escapades debunked,
then again, maybe not,
 more like the months turned into years
  passing quickly through laughter and tears;
better yet,
 it's the decade of the years that slipped away
  trivialized by work and play,
with memories mixed and confused
 forgotten and bemused
  gifts and blessing misused;
it's a lifetime hurried with goodbyes,
 rose-colored glasses that forged its lies
  with every step we laughed and cried;
take me back a moment in time
 to remember and recall
  to know and appreciate - 
we had it all.
