WHERE DID IT GO?







WHERE DID IT GO





How on earth did I reach this age
Can somebody please tell me
Did somebody just put me here
Just don`t know how this could be



Did I blink or maybe I over slept
Whatever happened I don`t like it,
Do I have more past than future now
If that`s the case I don`t like it one bit.



I need help, help to dig my heels in
I am going to stop time from slipping away
I need it to slow down so I can catch up
I thought there were 24 hours in a day.



My kids have gone from babies to adults
This all happened in the blink of an eye,
Where did their childhood go I ask
Where did my youth go I sigh.



Time has passed and I've not noticed
Where was I and what was I doing
This is a sad situation I find myself in
Maybe a witch was doing some brewing



I`m now frightened to go to sleep `cause
This passing of time fills me with dread
As I know the inevitable will happen
I`ll  wake up one day and find myself dead.
