When I was young I had not a care
Time was not rushed,
No need to be anywhere.

Everyday was fun and adventurous it seemed.

Then time had to go and educate me
It still moved slow but not nearly as fun
In fact, I couldn’t wait for that time to be done.

After graduation I felt I was free but
Little did I know time was turning on me

Searching for a job, maybe a career
Need to pay bills                                                                                                                                              Meet deadlines that near

Wishing that time would pick up its pace
It seemed to go by like a marathon race.

Now I am older                                                                                                                                                    No longer employed
I find myself thinking of the life I enjoyed

Looking back now                                                                                                                                                   I realize one thing is true
Time was not slow
It really flew

So If you’re still young                                                                                                                                            With not a care
Cherish your time                                                                                                                                                 In this world that we share!!
