How easy it is to look back in time
Of memories fond, when life was good
As we had no care or reason nor rhyme
Believing time would stay as it always would

Pain is realizing that change always comes
When you rise one morning feeling old
Tired and cold, your memory hums
Now living a life your parents always told

This feeling greets everyone randomly in bed
Never knowing who it next picks
Some know this feeling, others look away in dread
But for all who live the Halcyon Clock ticks

So do what you love and love what you do
Try not to reminisce about the past golden days
Find the company that cherishes you
And bask in the present of warm summer rays.
