Passage of Time

The days turn into night how quickly they pass by from day to day then from year to year time runs away minutes that come and go moments lost in time how quickly they pass as a young person it seemed so long as a old person we wonder where it went so as days turn into night and minutes and hours pass by remember time does slip away.

years have shown us this. I suppose every on has a time piece. OK I just had an idea. Write a piece Titled "How to tell Time" well it's an idea.

Oh I know so well. The mind has ways of speeding it up and slowing it down. Slow are days in prison and fast are the days of a break.
