Is it just me or does time seem <br />To move faster the older you get? <br />It almost feels like the world is <br />Moving too quickly and I must <br />Move with it or be left behind, <br />For the world waits for no man <br />I can remember back to when <br />I was much younger than I am now it <br />Doesn’t seem that long ago, does it? <br />Perhaps it does, but I’m not certain <br />I can remember things, things that <br />Seem like they happened yesterday <br />But they don’t seem real somehow <br />The person in those memories is not me <br />Well, at least not the me that I am now <br />I have changed, the endless march <br />Of time has made sure of that but <br />I am not sad and I am not bitter <br />I have become a husband and a father, <br />And because of those precious gifts <br />I long to know what other beautiful things <br />I may become with the turning of the world; <br />But even the wonderful blessings which <br />May come in the years ahead make the <br />Speeding of time no less strange or frightening.<br /><br />J.A McManus<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/another-year-gone-a-free-verse-poem/
