Inexorably slowly continuously
tick
hands of time move always
even if you don’t hear
Creeping crawling moving
tick
never stopping ever
even if you don’t see
Speed haste fast
tick
seemingly quicker each second
even if you don’t feel
Quicker faster hastier
tick
seconds seems smaller
even if you don’t know
Another year almost gone
tick
365 days nearly spent
even if you don’t want

Staying only a while
short brief fleeting
here then gone
forever moving
Past long gone
future not arrived
present counted in
only seconds
Each one small
gone in a blink
wasted on so much
frivolity
Once gone
never to return
lost in the sea
of what was
attend to the
here and now
before it is
lost and forgotten
Once gone it
can never be
repeated
time

Past is gone
future not yet here
there is only
now
Memories no regrets
over what was
now is all
we have
Tomorrow awaits
but is not
reside only in
the now
This moment
nothing more
live in this
now
Shake off
the past
do not worry
for the future
Now today
this instant
now is all the
time we have

They say with time all is known
things we will someday be shown
time to learn time to live
and it is only you my love I give
They say with time all wounds heal
that tomorrow will change the way we feel
everything will move and grow
and I love you more than you can know
They say with time all things are clear
that the unknown is what we truly fear
the things left hidden inside the heart
and it is you I have loved right from the start
They say with time all things must end
that each passing second brings it closer again
though death must come and none can forestall
and until then I will love you with my all

Yellow and orange bright red as if in fire
beautiful breathtaking valleys covered in fall
crisp morning air sun streaked skies
as if in unison the universe sighs
Color so vivid taken in each one by one
aspens cottonwoods colors of fall
painted in brush strokes strong and tall
a kaleidoscope for the eyes and the soul
Change and renewal the passage of time
colors to mark each turn of the day
following the seasons as in life
each moment a piece of remembrance
Colors to fill valleys paint mountains touch souls
the past and future meeting in a time honored dance
blending of time one season to a new
the colors of fall the colors of you

Time passes us by without even a pause to see
catching up always with you and with me
where children were once helpless and small
with each passing minute they grow stronger and tall
Time marches on with each dawn of the day
no words can stop it nothing we say
though we wish them to stay young they continue to grow
and soon will be adults before we know
Each year a new grade each year a new birthday to come
wanting to hold on to the past far too long for some
but time advances on and they grow so fast it seems
living out their hopes and dreams
Time engulfs us all our children is where we see it more
taking childhood away showing us what’s in store
each new grade they become more grown up slowly slipping away
but in our hearts they will always stay
