The hands on the clock move slow… <br />When you are young and energized. <br />You’ve got things to see and places to go. <br />Patience is difficult when time is paralyzed. <br /> <br />Middle-aged achievers have met with success. <br />They barely have a minute to catch their breath. <br />There are children and aging parents to address. <br />You’re between adventures and impending death. <br /> <br />You now find yourself traveling down a slope. <br />The incline gets steeper, as each hour slip away. <br />You’ve had many challenges and learned to cope. <br />The final hour is arriving; there will be no delay. <br /> <br />6/21/07<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/passage-of-time-2/
