Days, weeks, then months
and years drift by.
Not always noticeable, or even
memorable, the time behind us
simply accumulates. All in all,
the sum of its parts leads to
a life well-lived, if you take
a moment to notice.

If we keep on waiting, will
we realize what has passed?
We are never aware of what
we had until time has come
and gone, and what was then
is here and now, and we will
continue waiting for change.
We fail to look, to see how
far we’ve come, fearing we
will miss all that was there.
And still we wait for more.
