A SP Exercise....Does Time Really Fly!

My, how the memories fly

where does the time go
I really would like to know
days,

months,

and years
the joy and pain

laughter and the tears

Seconds ticking by
memories singing a soulful refrain
...you can never go home again

You can never turn back the page
can't look over your shoulders
and see mother's sage
or my daddy's rage
Or how time leaves us like animals
in a locked cage
with only windows and bars
locked in pain and yesterday's scars

My, how the memories do fly

each one singing it's own song
bringing tests of right and wrong
Reminders of it's own lullaby
merely flashes of the past
Branches in my mind

But, as long as I can remember them
time will always last

Close my eyes once again
and I'm in yesterday

Open them up
And I know I cannot stay

My, how the memories fly

 

When did I realize time was gone

"When I accepted the fact that she wasn't coming back home"
