LIFE CAN CHANGE SO SWIFTLY

Once all knew how to take their time
Without the rushing every day~
Once all had time to stop and think
Of late time how it slips away~
I hear them all the time I do~

People at top speed going somewhere
Jets away up in the sky~
Time now waits for nobody at all
Lives seems so many passing by~

Above those little lines of mist
Straight high and ever fine~
So many cross the planet every day
In the smallest amount of time~

Time is moving ahead so swiftly
And it's changing all the while~
Life it can be so different
Within the simple measure of a mile~

Once time seemed to move much slower
Well to me it seemed to do~
Of late many lives are changing every day
As if no such thing as spare time it's true~

Once one could plan so far ahead
If one could simply take ones time~
Once a mind could handle almost anything
To maybe do things better way more so fine~

So that better times they could call
Time it needs way more respect~
Lives could be better all round it's so
If we slowed down some I suspect~

But its not time its us to blame for this
Wealth greed business now one simply never knows~
How life will be in the shortest time
And of late that's how it goes~
