Time

Days gone 'fore you know it,
That then turn into weeks,
What seems like new news is now ten years old,
Soon your bed pan will reek,

People will sit beside you if your charmed,
Bewailing younger times,
In disbelief that you have come to this,
Because they knew you when your presence shined,

Like you do now for those who mentored you,
Now you know time is real,
It's not that everyone's just died so far,
That, too, will be your deal,
Just not right now,
You are still young and strong,
Hold onto the feeling as much s'you can,
I guarantee it won't have seemed that long.
