Best Time Flies Poems

Since the elders often proclaim, my how time flies, 
You then naturally look up into the skies.
To study the heavens for at least one small sign,
From the horizon up to the tallest tree line.

Then suddenly, a flock of birds flitters about,
So you believe that you...

Wearing Daddy's boots & cowboy hat & not much in between
Why, Momma, ain't she just about the prettiest baby you've ever seen?
I'm sure wishing she was talking, reading her mind is quite a trick
And she's sure getting awful heavy, I hope she's walking quick 

Whoa...

'Tempus fugit' we cannot deny
for suppleness dwindles and mirrors can't lie.
As wrinkles start spreading and children depart
the truth of this saying hits home like a dart.

Intro/read aloud:
You deserve a bro hug and a friendly pat...
That's the spirit - keep going forward 
You're getting back of track...I'll try to encourage you without acting awkward...
I leave your side
Without a word...
I can't help, but hide
How time flies...how I fly...
I hear your cries and...

Time’s flies in this world . . .
It’s part of our very lives.
A running meter . . . 
	Tracks to when, how long, how much 
And measures what can be done!

Time Flies By
By Kevin L Fairbrother

As we grow older, time just seems to fly
We welcome the new day and in no time
Well, we are looking at the night sky
…
We forget to do what we had just done
We can’t do what we used to, but try
We...

Preface:  I wrote this for Shirley, a middle aged 
close friend and co-worker!

Well here's another birthday!
My how time does fly!
It almost seems impossible,
that another years gone by!

Several moons have come and gone,
since the Doc first pulled you out!
You've had many joys and sorrows,
so you...

Waiting is the greatest pain, 
Though most of me remains slain; 
Legs propped up on iron heaters, 
In my mouth spins an egg beater- 

Roughly, duct tape holds it there, 
Wrapped around my crimson hair- 
Holding in the spinning end, 
Tearing so no one could mend. 

Will my torturer return? 
I cry to think...

TIME FLIES


Early still, I rise again. 
For the quails came calling. 
Dragging my feet, I stumbled 
across the room, to get a glimpse 
before they get to...

Lost Love And Dear Time Flies

My love, wondrous mysteries of words unsaid
Heart echoes of our afternoon trysts
Soft memories of your majestic, silkened bed
Bursts from heated love's glowing mists
Not a dream- kisses that made my heart cry out
Tasting all of your sweet delights;
Promises of moonlight and...

How far tomorrow seems in our eyes, 
How fast  it lands in our  hands. 
How hard we take the issues of life, 
How easy they seem thereafter. 
We get to sleep over our dream, 
Not waking up for work when it ought. 
We...

It's funny how time flies away.
"Like the blink of an eye"
my father did say. 

I know now what he meant.
My youth and beauty are all spent.
Where did that time go?

It is now I that is home alone.
From my nest my kids have flown.
I am my...
