Analysis of Its Time Again



Time moves so slowly
And time can do so much.
From the refrain, Unchained Melody,
It brings back memories to keep you in touch.

Life is fleeting when you look back,
Was it always about me or others ?
Life is not a straight line, you can get  sidetracked,
Did you leave your mark all put together ?

Baby, child, young person ,middle age or all used up
Which one was your ideal time ?
Did life pass you by, always with a nap ?
What is the age when you were in your prime ?

Finding your love, family and your home,
It took up most of my time,
Each one a treasure to be known
Loving each other all the time.

But growing up is no easy task,
It makes you  build character making you unique.
You are an original.no duplicate for others to ask,
But in the end, you will become an antique !

So dear friends, we all go our separate paths,
Some stand out, others not so, but we all try.
Will people remember us, or are we just last ?
A life well lived will never be a lie !

I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure,
I make mistakes, and be out of control, hard to handle,
But if you can't handle me at my worse
Then you don't deserve me at my best !

Marilyn Monroe. who ought to know !
