Today I did some catching up
With some old, old friends
Haven't met for over 20 years
So many ups and downs and tears!
Lost in memories today; we reminisced
Talked of lives already gone
Too many lost; no time for tears!
Our faces have changed a bit
Our midriffs bear spare tyres
But still as we talked
I could feel those old burning fires!
Time stands still for no-one
No! Time will not wait
We must bow to her passing
For we are the weaker ones
We are mortal and we must lose
To Time; eternal!
Our years come closer
To their full count
In these pitiful lives of ours
We are but a blink of an eye
In this magnificent array
Time slips by without our leave
We only stumble in her wake
We; so frail; fall by the wayside
As Time picks up her pace!
