Where did all those years go
One after one....
If only I could bring them back
To change some things I've done

Where did all the people go
That were once in my life
I lost touch... With so many
Once I became a mother and wife

When I was in that place, in time
I didn't think to much of "Tomorrow"
I was so young and carefree....
No room for regret or sorrow

I didn't realize how time could slip
Past me so quick, before I knew
If memories were a drink, I'd slowly sip
Recalling times, both happy and blue

Like a good book...That you enjoyed
Sometimes, thinking back on the plot
Other choices I might have employed
Are useless...And good for naught

For I can't return and change things
I must move forward, continue on
And as sure Angels have wings
My moving forward...Will be past and gone!
