Hear the clock ticking <br />As time passes by <br />Watch as the seasons disappear <br />At the wink of an eye <br />See how a child grows <br />And the years speed on their way <br />Knowing there is nothing we can do <br />To stop the passing of yesterday <br /> <br />One day we are children <br />Walking to school <br />Next we are teenagers <br />Breaking all the rules <br />Then we are adults <br />With children of our own <br />And then like magic <br />They have families of their own <br /> <br />One day we are young <br />Then we are old <br />And the time in between <br />Is our tender years <br />That pass so quickly <br />They are gone without trace <br />Leaving only the memories <br />Of the magic we couldn’t contain<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-passing-of-yesterday/
