Fly Away Time

Little feet in summer rain Chasing dreams that can't remain Swinging high up to the sky Laughing loud and asking why Memories fade like morning dew Childhood days we never knew How they slipped just like a breeze Through the branches of the trees Lines are etched around my eyes Telling tales of great goodbyes Silver strands weave through my hair Whispers of the times we share Once a child with wonder wide Now this heart where secrets hide Gazing at the mirror's truth Still I see that spark of youth Time it flies on wings of change Life is quick and rearranged Moments pass like fleeting trends Treasure every day my friend Don't let moments slip away Catch them in the light of day Time's the gift we can't replace Every second is a grace Skies turn grey and clouds grow bold Stars will fill the tales we told Wrinkles mark the paths we've tread From soft whispers to what's been said Voices of our younger years echo through our silent fears Though we're older Understand Inner child takes our hand In the end what matters most Are the memories that we host Beautiful the time we've shared Moments showing that we cared Cherish love and hold it tight Under twilight's fading light For the hours swiftly fly Like birds across the evening sky Time it flies on wings of change Life is quick and rearranged Moments pass like fleeting trends Treasure every day my friend Don't let moments slip away Catch them in the light of day Time's the gift we can't replace Every second is a grace
