Time has begun to fade away
I find myself begging it to stay
I plead with it to at least slowdown
But it doesn't budge even when I frown
Each day the children keep getting older and growing
naive to the change that is constantly undergoing
Today my nephew is as clingy as can be
but tomorrow he'll be fighting to be free
I wish there was some way to make is freeze
but that's as likely as a person stopping the wind's breeze
Time doesn't let us decide its pace
it's as if it is determined to speed up lifes race
So take my advice and make the most out of each day
take time to smell the roses and watch the children play
Because before you know it'll all be gone away
and despite your begging, it won't stay
Please no rude or hateful comments I am still a beginning writer

There's no full moon tonight baby.
That ole train is steadily rolling on by
Rolling on into the night.
When I watched the news tonight baby
they promised me my moon
would be full.
No sign of rain, clear skies all night long.
That's what they said.
Where in the world am I suppose to go
On a night like this.
Knowing my moon ain't full.
Packed it's bags and gone.
Gone away at least for the night.
One last glimpse before your gone for good.
That ole train steadily rolling on by baby.
Nothing but storm clouds and the smell of rain
Done packed your bag and gone away.
My sky never been this empty.
Half dark twinkles and rain rolling down my window.
There's no full moon tonight baby
Done packed your bag and gone.
Gone away

Wake me up in the past
So I don't have to face this
Let me live in my memories
Away from the reality

You didn't deserve to be taken
I wasn't ready for you to go
Did you know how much I loved you?
I wonder if now you'll ever know

You were like nobody I've ever met
Now you've been ripped away from me
I'm not ready for this god forbid
Please stay with me
I couldn't breathe
     The scent of flowers
  Without your presence
          In my mind
      A rose by any other name
             Is still just fine
    But the aroma is lost to me
        It's no longer sweet
             Like your face
     Has drifted away
          Awaiting the sunshine
   And new blossoms
            On a rainy day

— The End —
