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………
