Eternal

Some people should be eternal.
Time shouldn't be allowed to ravage them.
If only I could stop the clock,
command the seasons,
force the years to turn back.

But I'm just a stupid kid,
struggling against the inexorable tide.
Life is such, and I can only enjoy
the days I have left with you,
Mother of my mom.
