Time

 Time

 

Tick tock...tick tock...

Life is counting down on your internal clock.

Memories that feel as if they occurred yesterday

turn to flashes of moments that seem to fade away.

People you once knew

walk by without a clue.

The times you once shared

exist as if you were never there.

Years fly...friends die...

and you never know when you'll say your last goodbye.

Oh, how I wish I could turn back time,

spend it with loved ones and cherish what once was mine.

Or to go back even more,

being a kid in a candy store.

How I miss the way I used to feel

on Christmas day when Santa was real.

But back to reality...back to today,

family is scarce and memories continue to fade away.

Tick tock...tick tock...

How I wish I could control this clock.
