Where'd The Time Go?

Micro-awareness and the passing of time Wrapped in a ribbon and the lines by your eyes Notice the hollowing out of your cheeks, How you've grown up to desire nights quiet and meek, A bright start to your day, And the goldmine of sleep How you welcome the tears, How the juice switched to tea, And how the big things, they are shrinking, And the small things they've grown With the people and the places That you no longer know, And how the way your mom speaks Wove it's way through your tongue, And the hope that your laugh Might be keeping her young, Yet you argue and you bicker And you just want your space, But now you're far, Rippled reflections flicker back your dad's face, Where'd The Time Go? Where'd The Time Go? Where'd The Time Go? Where'd The Time Go?
