Time Takes The Cake
Are you just a kite without a string?
Perhaps a worn widow without her ring
Or two figures lost in a shallow summer fling
Whatever it is, you’d better close your curtains
For not every tale ends in a way that is certain
Unmet expectations slice through like a knife
Lost heartfelt love and flirtations end in heated fights
Countless dreams unchased glow like wishing stars within the night
Prenups, engagements, marriages take their place
Monotonous paychecks keep troubled souls sane
The young think there’s forever, but time takes the cake
Aging is imminent, not one person can escape
They try to get by without too many bruises or scrapes
To those whom are lost, and to those who wander
There is an end in sight, an end to ponder
Life’s joys and shortcomings wrapped in a bow
The kindest kindred spirits just might tow you home
