When Time Slips Away
So little time—
Yet so much left undone!
On the pages of life still remain
Sketches of dreams left to run.
So many promises lost in the mist,
So many hopes quietly withdrew—
Countless paths remain untraveled,
So many sights left out of view.
What still remains—
To behold the world with wide-open eyes,
To truly live

When Time Slips Away
I’m always too late,
When I have to say something important,
When I have to keep a promise,
When I have to call out to her,
When I have to bring her back—
I’m always too late.
In the changing dawn of seasons,
When my heart needs to hold on,
When I have to remember someone,
When I need to forget someone—
I’m always too

Do you remember me? Remember when we danced in the rain?
Played pranks on the neighbor next door?
Danny has another seashell for you, he wants to know if you still have the one from last summer?
To all these you could not remember any
This disease took a

Time Slips Away
I remember yesterday
When I was young and free
The world was mine to conquer
And love was waiting for me
No dark clouds hovered o’er my head
I didn’t count the days
All was right in my little world
In so many little ways
But time slips away my friends
Cherish every day
We never know when the bell will toll
And loved ones will

As Time Slips Away From Us.
Some days seem so filled and so busy
We seem to need more hours in the day
To get it all done
People who mean the most to us
Don’t get a phone call, a card or a visit
That would mean so very much
They aren’t told how very precious they are to us
And they aren't aware
