What's Up, Doc

How did I get so old so soon?
I was but a kid this afternoon,
My sun just set before it rose--
A travesty of nature, I suppose!

My goodness, the time just flew away
It was right here, destined for today,
My tomorrow came it seems too soon--
How did my night fall right before noon?

Abdul, it does seem that way sometimes. I've noticed the older you get the faster time seems to fly! I enjoyed your poem! Blessings, Kim M
