Undecided
Mary E. McDonald 1968 (NY)
Undecided,
Unknown
Where to turn
There was a time when things were simple
Then life moved forward….. toward the unknown
Time moves on, life moves on….
Time moves,
Timeflows… like the ocean into the unknown
As a child, time crept by slowly….
As the years have passed time has flowed faster and faster
Time moves on,
life moves on
The years flow on and here we are
the hands of time moved faster and faster
The years have flown by and here I stand
Wondering where the time has gone
I only wish that I could go back and do it again
If only I could see the days again –
as if life were a movie to be watched and paused and rewound
