Where Have the Days Gone

As you sit and ponder You begin to wonder Where have the days gone? Those carefree bygone days Of skipping rope Of tag and kickball No more will you be small Grown up now, bills to pay Your own kids to raise Watching as they play No more tag or skipping rope Video games are in their scope Days turn into months and years Filled with tears and many cheers Your own kids now all grown Planning for the unknown Where have the days gone? You are no longer young and new Your grey hair your silent testimony To your life’s journey of adulthood So much wisdom you have gained Yet here you sit and ponder Where have the days gone? Hoping that you’ve done your best Before you go for your eternal rest. 10/16/15
