Youth, Age and Time
Youth, Age & Time
Written: by Tom Wright
Thoughts for 10-26-2017
When young, my time appeared to freeze,
And the clock hands traveled like a slug.
I never saw the forest for all the trees,
And I couldn’t escape some hole I’d dug.
But now with age, I sit, second guessing,
Mentally surveying the missteps I’ve taken.
The drudgery of age has made life stressing,
Things I can no longer do leave me shaken.
With age, time rapidly rushes past my hands,
And I spend occasional time looking back.
Little time remains for long distant plans,
It’s all reserved for the next health attack.
