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.
