Time Goes By Poem by Fab Ricciardi

Time goes by
The sun rises as another sun sets

Dreams will be born
Lives will be torn

Life, full of joy, full of sorrow
All in hope for a better tomorrow

Minutes go by, watching hours turn to days
Minutes go by, many months, many Mays

A baby is born
Quick, dress him up, send him to school
Before you know it, he’ll learn the golden rule

He’ll soon grow strong, healthy and wise
Raise many kids, maybe one or two wives

Off to work and don’t be late
You have to work hard, you have to be great

Run over here, run over there
Look at your silver and now thinning hair

Where did it go?

You want to know

As life deals you yet another blow

In your final breath

In the face of death

Time, (You whisper)
Please stop…

Time goes by
