TIME REMEMBERED Oh! If I had the time I wished away Hoping for the dawning of a new day I would walk and not run through life Slowly enjoying it’s beauty with utter delight. When I was three I wanted to be six And go to school to intermix. Then that happened and I soon became bored For I wanted to be older and do things I’d only been told. Out of high school and into college came much too late I just couldn’t wait to graduate. My cap, gown, degree didn’t mean much to me Just my ticket into the world and being free. That freedom soon became a nine to five chore I longed for the weekends more and more. Still time creeped at its snaily pace While I tried to beat the humdrum rat race. Then I was no longer on my own For I had a family and a home. But the novelty of it all soon wore off Time no longer creeped but came full stop.
