Time is such an elusive thing,
it differs with each one’s perspective.
We are never given a text book
containing our special directive.
A youth spends time looking forward,
drivers license, college and career,
hopes to receive the voice of success
which so many people never hear.
A retiree looks at memories
of joyous events in the past
while stopping so he can lament
why the joys never seem to last.
Back and forward, forward and back
so much in the present we miss
always looking for what we lack
that would give our lives great bliss.
The rare person can sometimes be found
in people whose lives we can track.
The youth who looks back and goes forward,
the old moving forward from the back.
