Time...
Time...
It's so weird.
It goes by in a second,
Yet it's been years.
You feel, see, time moving,
But when it's over,
It seems like it wasn't that long ago.
You become "old", aged,
But it 'twas just yesterday you were a wee little thing.
Time...
A strange essence.
A clock, lock on a minute
For our time runs out faster than we realize.
And as the life in our eyes drains away,
Our last thought might be 'Where did my life go?'
For only a week ago it seems you were trick-or-treating with your other 6th grade buddies.
Time....
Just stop for a moment
And let us get caught up.
Only yesterday was I playing in the Illinois snow and visiting family,
But now I'm back in my home state.
Time...
Please let us get to know you
Before you pass us by so fast.
