Wind Me Up

Wind me up
  Let me go
Here I come
  I'm in the flow

Sunday, Monday
  moving fast
Tuesday, Wednesday
  Will it last?

Thursday, Friday
  Now I'm gassed
Hurray for Shabbos*
  The week has passed

How quickly time passes.... Sand grains quickly dropping down through the hour glass and pages after pages are torn from life's tome.

Yes, indeed. And just think, some day in the future, these days (in 2022) will be the 'good old days.' Frightening, isn't it?! AGAY (Ain't getting any younger!)

Goes faster and faster the older I get -- day's now are a flash it seems. Excellent ride, Gershon. Joe.

For me, the days are long, but the weeks and months go by like lightning. All in the perception, as they say. Happiness and Light, gw

Hi Gershon, I love the bubbly rhythm. Nice rhyming pattern. Blessings ~ Debra

You are so perceptive Debra: Your comment about 'bubbly rhythm' -- How did you know that I was taking a bubble bath when I wrote this?... O.K. Would you believe that I was blowing bubbles? ... No? O.K. Would you believe that I was chewing bubble gum? ~ Agent 86: Don Adams
