    Time Slips Away

    Another dawn, another day.
    Whatever shall I do today?
    Something grand? Something gay?
    Hurry up -- time slips away.

    When you’re young, life seems like play.
    And then your dreams, they go astray.
    Time flies by to your dismay.
    You will learn fast -- time slips away.

    There are rules you must obey
    even when you’re old and grey.
    So if you’re young, don’t delay.
    Don’t forget -- time slips away.

    Glad you liked it! I'm posting about one a week. I started this about 10 months ago and have published a volume thru Lulu.com; it's now available on Amazon.com.

    Poetry is what is lost in translation.
