Time Just Goes By So Fast

[skatethewall]

Some days we walk on this earth like
We have all the time in the world
I look around and see how we ignore older folk
And there’s something wrong with that
They see us living our lives and remember when
They were younger and making mistakes too,
Loving and being loved

We’re figuring out that it’s just a gift to be here at all
Figuring out
There’s nobody we need more than we need ourselves,
Than we need God
We’re all just men and women walking in our journeys
We can’t save anyone
Or be saved

The older man, the older woman with wisdom
Why can’t we see beauty in their faces?
Are we unable to see what’s beautiful?
What took a lifetime to acquire?

Collecting lovers, never having enough
Competing all of the time
I just want to walk away
I have had enough

It’s time to go to sacred ground
To sit in stillness
To learn how to laugh like a child again
To let go of what people did,
What we did
To let God use our hands for once

Then we can grow older
And glow with the beauty of wisdom.

Welcome Back Skater! And what a way to return with a fo real though joint.
This piece rings so true, I'm like man she's right, while reading this. There was a time when we were taught to respect out elders no matter what. When neighborhoods raised the kids, now the gangs run them. The good ole days the good ole days where for art thou the good ole days. Funny how things seem so clear after they're pointed out to you. Goodin' friend, hope this means that you're gonna stay on the scene. Understand I'm just a fan, hj.
