J.A McManus - Another year gone (a free verse poem.)

Is it just me or does time seem br To move faster the older you get? br It almost feels like the world is br Moving too quickly and I must br Move with it or be left behind, br For the world waits for no man br I can remember back to when br I was much younger than I am now it br Doesn’t seem that long ago, does it? br Perhaps it does, but I’m not certain br I can remember things, things that br Seem like they happened yesterday br But they don’t seem real somehow br The person in those memories is not me br Well, at least not the me that I am now br I have changed, the endless march br Of time has made sure of that but br I am not sad and I am not bitter br I have become a husband and a father, br And because of those precious gifts br I long to know what other beautiful things br I may become with the turning of the world; br But even the wonderful blessings which br May come in the years ahead make the br Speeding of time no less strange or frightening.br br J.
