Time
By Don Ray Williams

When I was young, I used to play
And run through out my entire day,
And now I sit and wonder how
The time has slipped away.
When I was young, it seemed to me,
That life would always be,
And now with old friends passing,
I grasp reality.
When I was young, it always seemed I did a lot in haste,
So much to do, so much to do, my life was so fast paced,
And now with age, I realize,
Time wasn’t meant to waste.
It’s said with age, comes wisdom,
Or is that wisdom comes with age,
Whichever way, I listen,
Because, time has made me sage.
So if you’re young, and think that time is merely meant for play,
And find yourself running through your entire day,
Please pause a bit, and savor it,
Before your time has slipped away.

[...] Each time I see one of my friends pass away, it puts me in a melancholy mood. It was on another day like this that I penned “Where Did It GO?” and “Time”. [...]
