The Mystery of Time

Life is strange I must agree and time it controls us

When as a child the days went fast, we played so endlessly

It seemed to me it went so quick I’d hardly begun play

So much to see and touch and learn, but time was soon gone by

So thus, I entered in the game, a race twixt time and me

Then as a teen I laughed and played, yes different types of games

There was no problem, for it seemed, there always was more time

To love and party, dance and sing, until the morning light

I packed so much into a day, it seemed it would never end

The years flowed by; I’m married now, with children at my feet

The time goes by so quickly now I cannot find enough

The list of things I need to do grows larger by the hour

I am older now and time it seems so strange, I live in memories past

The time it seems much longer now than ever seemed to me

The days drag on, I sit and talk I’ve time for one and all

So much I fit into a day, for time has stretched it seems
