POEM
TIME AND CHANCE
Tick tock
Tick tock
Life is counting down on your internal clock.
Memories that feel as if they occurred yesterday;
Turn to flashes of moments that seem to fade away.
People you once knew;
Walk by without a clue.
The times you once shared;
Exist as if you were never there.
Years fly, friends die;
And you never know when you'll say your last goodbye.
Oh, how I wish I could turn back time,
Spend it with loved ones and cherish what once was mine.
Or to go back even more;
Being a kid in Mama Bisi's store.
How I miss the way I used to feel;
On Christmas day when the jolly was real.
But back to reality; back to today,
Family is scarce and memories continue to fade away.
Tick tock
Tick tock
How I wish I could control this clock.
