Years Flow By

I watch my years flow by
from chair, from sofa, bed.
I watch my life go by.

And life sees me go by -
my folks, my friends, my pals.
How long will this go on?

What do they think of me
as they can see me pass
so swiftly, this way, that?

Little life goes by
from chair, from sofa, bed.
What now is there to see
as I watch life go by?
