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

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

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.
