Time Flies
Time flies by so swiftly without making a sound
traveling on a course that no one can determine moving
even when we are asleep in the night
unraveling mysteries for the eyes to behold
Some people watch as it goes by while others make provisions
while the sun shines the wise take heed and are aware
when others squander theirs and don't care
Before you know it you are old and gray,
reminiscing on the good times you had
or sitting in your rocking chair
regretting the chances you didn't take
or grimacing from aches and pain; from life's journey
That we have traveled;
sometime I wonder why time flies so fast
but I can never come seem to produce an answer
only to realize that time is a master
ruling the old and the young, and everything else on the earth .
