As Time Flies

I remember I was 12 - wishing I was 13

When I was 15 -  I prayed to be sweet16

At 17, 18 looked so far and time went so awfully slow

tick tock

tick tock

The day of my 18th birthday!

A mile stone people - whoooopi

So the years dragged by slowly and I was just wishing that 21 would come around so that I could open up my own accounts and buy my own car.

21 Came around and it was not as great as I thought it would be ...

Suddenly I was 30

So on that day

I was given a huge bunch of cosmos flowers and I remember so strongly the words I said at 18......

"I want to live hard and die young before I reach 30"

Suddenly I realized that I had not even started living and the thought crossed me that I am 30 yrs old and I started crying thinking to myself..... you are old ......

35 Came and went

40 Came

They said that at 40 you start living.

Right .... ja right ....

Suddenly the years just started speeding up like a bullet train or shall I say a fighter jet

Whap, whap, whap

I realise that I am getting old quickly

Retirement is around the corner

I have not done what I wanted

I have waisted time with people and things

And at the end of my days
It will be said: Dust to Dust

When some stranger walks through the graveyard,
they will turn to their child and say:"do you know where the richest place in town is?'
The child will respond: "no Daddy, where?"
"Here in the graveyard, because many of these people God blessed with many talents,
and here, they all lie buried with all that rich treasure"
