The ships keep on sailing until the end of time
But time is one thing we never get back
Grieving the days of the past
Mourning the loss of all the things we cannot change
Time keeps moving
In some ways it seems that time is circling around us
Watching children grow into young adults molded and scarred by the world
Time carries on
There are times the tears stream and roll and you wonder where it all went wrong
Just take me backwards so I can fix all that has been broken, mend the anger and patch up the hate
Time stops for no one
You don’t realize you’re watching your parents grow old right in front of you as you demand everything they have and suck their energy deflating them further than who they wanted to be
As you blink and carry on through the wonderment of childhood
Battling all the torments of the world - never knowing when your breath will be the last one
Time will never stand still
A grandparent passes and you realize that time doesn’t care if you’re ready it will continue ticking
Ticking until that’s all you can hear
Time passing
Children don’t keep - and you waste your time waiting for the new milestones -that you often forget to enjoy the ones you’re in
Until you look back and all you have are photos and memories you’ll never have again
Baby toes and bottle feeding end in what feels like an eternity until all you have are eye rolls, feet stomping, back talking teenagers and you understand that babies will never keep
Wishing time will pass in a constant stream of every day life - if I can just get through this work day, this hour, this month until you wake up and realize you wished your life away
Everyday is passing And they feel like they are all the same
Wrinkles begin to take over - white begins to shimmer in your once brown hair
The breath you’re breathing could be your last
Your body creaks and breaks underneath you giving up when it was just young and healthy not long ago
You’re fading understanding that your time is coming
All the memories are flooding back - refusing to accept that this is where it ends
This is where it all ends
Time’s a thief
