We mark the passage of time
On faces of friends
And eyes in family albums
Time’s awful ticking
Relentless and quick
Whisks away our years
Who’s this now?
How big you’ve gotten!
Yesterday you were fresh and new
But all too soon
You’ll grasp at the straws
Waving in memory’s breeze
Mark well and remember
Pass it down to eager hands
Lest you yourself be forgotten
"You’ll grasp at the straws \ Waving in memory’s breeze" - I love this. Thanks for posting your One Shot this week.

ReplyDeleteTime just get the best of us, doesn't it? Etches wrinkles in my face. But we need to keep those memories alive.
ReplyDeleteWe take so many photos, yet years later it is "who is that". Great post.
