Time

A poem about how fast time goes by.

Time

 

As time goes by,

A baby is born,

And plays with its rattle,

In its mother's arms.

 

Time goes by,

And that baby is a toddler,

Saying its first words,

And taking its first steps.

 

Time goes by,

And that toddler is a child,

Going to school,

And making new friends.

 

Time goes by,

That child is a teenager,

Driving its first car,

And falling in love.

 

Time goes by,

And that teenager is an adult,

Buying its first house,

And having a child.

 

Time goes by,

And that adult is middle age,

Losing its parents,

And gaining grandchildren

 

Time goes by,

And that middle aged adult is old,

Living in a nursing home,

And writing its will.

 

Time goes by,

And that person is dead,

Going to Heaven,

And living in peace.

I like this poem, because I'm sure most people can relate to it. Everyone knows what it feels like to run out of time as a college student who has witnessed my younger siblings grow up since they were babies, it kinda hits home. I don't think that it was wrong for you to say 'it' though, because it allows for more people to relate to your poem. I hope you find this review helpful.

I like the poem, how it is like a timeline, with the baby turning into a toddler, the toddler into the child, and so forth. The rhyme scheme is light and basic, with little tiny rhymes laced in between your well-chosen words. Sentimental, elegant, simple, and nostalgic. All at the same time. Well done on this one. :)

Thank you;)

This poem made me almost cry thinking about how my grand mom will eventually die and my mom and dad. I loved this.

[CBH]

Aww, glad to hear you liked it.
