My, My



My, my, we sigh ‘how time does fly’
How seamlessly the years slip by
Why did we grow oh, so, so slow
When we were kids; before we slid
Onto that grid of getting old
And how did we get here so fast?
Of short-sighted future and far-sighted past


My, my, we say, ‘how soon another day
Is done away; the gold and gray
Meet in the melting pot of yesterday
And all that we can keep of it
Are memories of what we did
I hope, as we sense Time’s sweet lenience fade
We say my, my but *what a lot of love we made

*lest there be any confusion, the writer is speaking of Love.
