Expressions

Time Gone Passed

*Time Gone Passed*

As the days grow shorter,

And the nights get longer,

You think to yourself

How could another year

Have already gone by?

_________________________________________________

The kids are growing up,

And you start to feel older.

Things aren't as simple

As they used to be.

_________________________________________________

Birthdays, holidays, and

Memories start to flicker

Through your mind.

Scenes of the past

Flash before you.

Tears start to roll

Down your face.

Time has slowly crept away.

_________________________________________________

But once a year the family

Gets together to celebrate

Another year that was filled

With all the love and happiness

One could ever want.

_________________________________________________

Then we all anxiously wait

For another, to be filled with

Just as much as before.

_________________________________________________

Enjoy the time you have with

The ones you love,

For time is a precious gift

We have all been granted.
