Notes About The Poem

7/17/2024 for Glenn Hughes Poetry Contest sponsored by Robert James Liguori

Where did the Time Go?

Inspired by the Glenn Hughes song, "Where Did the Time Go?"

Where did the time go?
We meet again!  Were we young and foolish then?
Now, what do we know? 

It was love at a glance.
We had a fight.  Would things now be right
If you gave me a chance?

Would life have been great?
Did we pay a cost for opportunity lost?
Or was it better left to fate?

Can we ken life's flow?
There's a reason for every season.
It's better to let go. 

Where did the time go?
We meet again!  Were we young and foolish then?
Now, what do we know?
