Time Goes By...


Time goes by.

The world changes.
Things are not the same.
There are sad times.
There are good times.
I watch the little ones grow bigger.
They have so much to learn.
I get older, learn from past mistakes.
Time is a funny thing.
It can be something good.
Or it can be something bad.
Watching the world going by.

I see what needs to change.
I also see what needs to stay the same.
So many changes going on.
It can be hard to keep up with the changes.
The world's changes can sometimes be hard to understand.
I see the wrong in the world.
Focus on foolish things.
Also, on foolish gains.
If something does not change.
It could mean the end of many things.
Watch time closely.
It can be gone in a blink of an eye.
Cherish what God has given.
Or it can be take away.
Then there will be no time to take it back.
I sometimes wish for more time.
Time that I need to find answers to my life.
Time goes by.
I wish time would stand still for a second.
So, I can find the way I need to go.

    This poem really moves me.

    Benjamin Franklin said: "Time is the stuff of life."

    I found your poem here wise, saddening, frightening, and honest. Straightforward honesty of the heart, which always speaks much.

    This poem moved me. I guess there is time for everything. My little girl moved out with her daughter this past weekend and I miss them very much! I know it was time for her to move on and start her life now on her own! Thanks! Most of all I hang on to one day at a time and enjoy all the little and big things in life; For I may never know when my time is to end.

    Really very true and insightful. We have such limited time and we don't want to waste it. I especially think about the little ones growing bigger. My little boy is just growing up too fast (he's almost three). It makes me feel sad to think about the moments that I can't get back.

    Time...what a vast subject. You did a fine job of defining it. When we are young we don't realize just how precious time is and then as we grow older it's like it's too late to rectify the time we had lost. Isn't it funny that "time" is one thing that we even as adults cannot seem to make people understand. Once time has passed and we come to the realization that we can't turn back "the almighty hands" of time most people choose to regret the time they have lost. Myself though have chosen to learn from those precious moments and hopefully use what I have left wisely. It's hard though because so many of us have grown so set in our ways and so stubborn about letting it go that we actually never do accomplish those things that we still believe that we have "time" to and we refrain to the famous words,"If I only had a little more time!" By then it's too late. So people remember those prized words of our elders,"Use your time wisely." You won't regret that!
