Where Does It Go?

by damommy


Time flies so fast along the way.
I blink and there’s another day.
Then years are gone. I realize
so fast along the way, time flies.
 
Where did they go, those decades lost?
Can’t get them back at any cost.
‘Twas hardly any time to know
those decades lost. Where did they go?
 
I readily embrace the past.
It’s greater than my time to last.
I can no longer keep the pace.
The past, I readily embrace.
 
I know not what the future holds,
but every day that it unfolds,
I hope my life’s not been for naught.
The future holds I know not what.
