Time passes so quickly



I awake with the dawn
Memories tumble from my past
What to do or not

Harley-Davidsons roar by
Slick wet pavements beneath my feet
Rainbow color flowers abound

Time passes so quickly
Darkness falls like a dark curtain
Is it time for bed

Tis true it is magic
The beaming smile of a small child

Rain on the dark horizon
Smell the dampness in the sweet air
Flowers perk up and stretch

Squish-squish-squish-squash
Its fun playing in the Rain
Memories of another day

Time passes so quickly
Life goes on and the seasons change
Where am I now?
