Leaping Lizards!...

In a thought heretical,
in a moment hysterical...
in the blink of an eye,
without asking why
you realize Time does fly
and you will never catch up;
to words you wish to take back,
to the tears washed away to the sea
to the friends lost in life but not memory
to chances lost to uncertainty
to children full grown and gone
to parents living lost and alone
to siblings living lives on their own
to cruel comments that cut to the bone
but there is always Time for
what you hold dearest;
find it and never let go...
