In The Blink Of An Eye

Moments turn into hours,

hours into days….

Then we find we’re looking back

on so many yesterday’s....

Day’s that we can never relive

because the time has passed us by;

Moments we should never forsake

or live at another time.

Soon that time will be gone forever,

just slipped out of your hands:

Life goes on and time runs out,

I hear you solemnly demand….

I hear the thoughts running through your head,

‘I’m scared of what you’re going through….’

Can you not imagine

that this fear, I suffer too?

Even though I face this

with a smile;

Kindly asking how you are

How can you not see that this fear

is just as real for you and I?

It breaks down a body already weakened

by the demands of a tireless foe….

I cannot fight forever,

this battle all alone….

Still, life does not stop for anyone

Although I wish it could be true;

Just a few seconds to pause it;

Please listen,

while I share my fear with you….
