Where Did All the Time Go

Where did all time time go from the inside of my clock?
It seems to disappear after each and every tock.
I checked the clock an hour ago when it was five past two,
Now it’s five past three which means five past two just flew!
I’ve checked inside my clock but cannot seem to trace
Where five past two has gone, a dilemma I must face. 
Maybe it is hiding in a place I cannot see
or even flown to heaven, maybe that’s where it could be?
I’ve asked my mother if she could help locate where time has gone,
But she just says it’s time you were in bed where you belong!

Hi, here again is a beautiful written reality. Your poems might make me understand how i can overcome living in my past of today, alive, yet wanting so much to go back i not forward in my Now. I so enjoy your rhyming, beautiful. I will keep reading your beautiful philosophy. Terry

Hi Terry. Again, many thanks for your comment. I think it is natural, as you get older, to look back at the past, but I agree living in the moment should also be fulfilling. Best wishes..Ronald xx
