Time Flies

The speed at which time goes is faster than we can comprehend.

Time Flies

I fell on my chair in the morning

I woke up and it was night

I rub my head and say, “Boy, time flies by!”

 

I walk down the street in the evening

I reach my house by dawn

The sun burns my flesh and I say, “Boy, time flies by!”

 

I live my life at noon

I am in my deathbed by midnight

As I slowly leave this world, I say, “Boy, time flies by!”

This is a true and realistic poem. Time does fly by. With old age I wonder where my youth and energy went? There is wisdom to be learn in your words. Enjoy each day and tried to have some fun. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Tempus fugit. One can only agree and try to fill it with the times we have in reading such excellent work.

It really makes you think that when you look back, your life flashes in an instant and you really do wonder where the time went. Thanks for sharing this very true, butcomical piece. I enjoyed it...

Really thought provoking! I loved it :)

This goes in a blink of an eye...
the 3 stanzas go from phase to phase...
in relatively a short time...
yet you wanted to employ the notion:

“Boy, time flies by!”
