My Old Friends Time

When I was young

Time remained old

Staring down at me

With ancient eyes

Watching me play

In its syrup form

Preserving my childhood

In its arms

 

As I grew older

Time grew younger

It grew playful

As it ran laughing by

Grew so playful 

And raced so swiftly

That it stuck my months together

At last I caught up to my old friend time

And days grew older with me 

And years grew endless

As I talked with my

Old friend time

I was inspired to write this poem when I realized that my life started flying by as soon as I reached my teenage years.
