It Goes So Fast
It goes so fast this life we're given,
quickly the years scurry by,
blink just once, snap your fingers
watch how fast time flies.
Remember when you were a child
what mattered most of all,
the simplest of things
is what I do recall.
Then came teenage years
carefree and full of surprise,
opening our hearts to love and loss
honesty and lies.
Defining who we are and who
we've come to be,
gone like the wind in an instant
those tender years of our twenties.
Thirties came with debt and fear
trying the best we knew
to give our families a little more
than the blessings that were
given to you.
Forties march right in kids grown
and start to fly,
Fifties give you grand babies
my how fast time passes by.
The silver years are here
the golden yet to come,
I'm so happy I was given this life,
it goes so fast
but I'm still having fun!

It's like cramming for those finals without benefit of the agility I once had. But it's fun. I think. Back to baseball: I'm gonna swing for the fences until the end! Did I mention I really like your poem?
Shame on me. :-)
