Age follows me,
like a puppy, all around;
I can't shake its shadow,
we just go round and round.
The days pass by much quicker,
the nights, they come too soon;
and in between, the hours fly,
with a crass mind of its own.
That's life; you cannot slow it down,
trying - it never seems to jell;
I'm running to a different clock,
some days, it's just as well.
With age, comes greater wisdom,
at least that's what they say;
my seriousness has faded,
but I had it- back in the day.
So, I relish all the sunsets,
that time provides for me;
as I await the final one,
whenever that may be.
