"Time Speeds By"

As we age~
As we grow older,

The minutes and the hours~
The days and the weeks~
The months and the years~
Seem to pass as quickly
As the blink of an eye.

Life seems to be passing us by,
And we think sadly~
"It is over!"

Our memories become our life line,
Our only connection to the world.


But then a miracle occurs;
And we find another lonely heart
That has been floating alone
In a sea of memories~
Searching for something or someone
To keep them from drowning.

Two strangers meet.
They come from two different worlds.

They join hands and hearts.
They join bodies and souls.

And time somehow slows down,
And gives them the opportunity
To again dream~
To again feel~
To again love!

Thank you so much for your comments.

Not only does 'time wait for no one', but it might also be true that 'no one should wait for time'.

Where does the time go ~
We all have this dilemma of time waiting for no man ~

It's great to have this dream of passing time, reawakened

A miracle that one believed could not happen again
Peeks through the window of your poem ~

Enjoyed re-reading your poem
It deserves commendable comments

Kathy ~ Some day soon ~ when you least expect it ~ he might sit down beside you in that church pew ~ and simply say ~ 'hello pretty lady'.

So much time has passed ~ and I am still dry.
The words will not come, and I can't seem to force them.

So I'll bring out 'the old' once again...lol.
