Watching Time Move On

                                Time moves on and waits for no one, we are born; our children are born, this is the beginning of watching time march by.  In the beginning our days are long, sometimes boring, as we grow up time passing is very subtle, we want to be 10, 16 finally we think so aced it once we hit 21. It is soon after that we begin to wish we were 21 or 18 again.

                                Now that time for me has arrived, love ones are growing up, while others are growing old; yet for me it is speeding by so fast, I can barely hold on any more. It’s like losing control in a car race, you start out slowly, go full throttle and then you begin to realize it you’ve lost control, it is then that you realize it is not the end prize, the #1 winner prize that you really want. What you really want is the thrill, the ride; yet while in such a rush you forget to smell the flowers along the way.

                                Now I must make the time, to sit back and enjoy the race, not to focus on the prize, but watch, enjoy and try to slow down the tides of life as it is going by. I wonder where the time has gone, my children grown, I have grown up, and love ones are passing alone; I think to myself wait!

                Time is moving on and I am not yet done!
