 Penniluck's legacy

Standing Still


To my son Clint on his 38th birthday love always Mum xxx


My boy is thirty-eight years old

Time passes by so fast

I blink, time`s gone yet still moves on

A second cannot last


It seems like only yesterday

You cuddled up to me

Took first steps, then off you ran

Oh where can that time be


Went off to school, then out to work

Married, children too

Now your children nearly grown

So time moves on for you


Such a funny thing is time

It stores up in our mind

Saving all the memories

Which we will later find


Take them out and gaze once more

Upon what once was here

Never lost time just goes on

And settles year by year


Upon our souls and in our hearts

With tender loving care

Time is real, but standing still

Time is always there
