UPON YOUR WINGS

Don’t carry me upon your wings
Oh time as you pass by…
Just leave me here in autumn days
For winter now is nigh.

Stand still and let the sun to shine
Upon this weary soul…
For it is soon that you’ll return
As time does not console.

Slow your pace so I may sprint
Along for just awhile…
And when I say I’ve had enough
Then you can add a mile.

Acceptance it may come in time
But not in me today….
For aging is to me you see
A slowly grown decay.

Don’t carry me upon your wings
Oh time as you pass by…
Then I won’t have to mourn my youth
And you won’t see me cry.
