Time Slips Away

Funny how time slips away

Before you know the day

Has gone to sleep

Another day on the horizon

Approaches ever so swiftly

Languid days are no more

Time has its way of disappearing

When you need it most

Time to take care of the little

Things life has to offer

That brings joy

Runs away as if tomorrow

Has an expiration date

Time slips away

Trying to hold on to it is futile

It has its own mind

Set in its way never to change

All we can do is hope to

At least catch up

Wishful thinking

Dreaming of the day

When tomorrow is today

And today stays

Time slips away and away and away………
