I'll come back to this one and read it from time to time as I grow older. It's great.

Ah how time flies. A super thoughtprovokin poem n d last stanza was esp lovely in concluding tune.
Time stealthily moves on without any ado and we hardly realize that it slips by! But after long years when we look back, we realize with a jolt that much water has flown under! ! A great write! !
Wistful and poignant - the years pass so quickly, we wonder where they went.
i'll add this one to my poemlist danny. but i can't say i wonder or ponder where the years went, as i KNOW where they went! i may think about them and i DO sometimes wish i could go back to my usually carefree childhood............ as long as i didn't have to go through adulthood AGAIN! i also sometimes wish i could have my parents back, one at a time, just for an evening or afternoon or two to ask them some questions i never thought to ask while they were alive. in the last line: The years' spent. something doesn't seem 'right' about YEARS'. is that the way you wrote it or did poemhunter add an apostrophe? i notice they sometimes do change things a tiny bit when i submit something. thanks for sharing. bri
