Stolen Time Poem by Mahfooz Ali

Fun, games, talking with friends,
will I ever do any of this again?
time goes by so quickly now,
days, weeks, months, and years.
I never notice the change of the seasons any more.............

I begin to think that this is all there is,
like nothing good is going to come....
This coming year sure will.....

I can't take the passing time!
stop, stop, clock on the wall, stop the days from
passing by.

I need more time, time to think
thinking about the things that time has taken away...........

give me back what I have missed?
give me back my stolen time?

clock on the wall do not chime
for I need my stolen time........
