When tender years are young,
the months lightly tread.
Whilst aging towards demise,
years just steam ahead.
Shadows of time upon you,
it can slip extremely fast.
How much spent in memories?
Did you double the hours of your past?

Well this is quite a braincracker if you ask me
but I like to think with words 
Thank you for entering this into the contest!

Stunning!! This one really spoke to me! Time goes by so fast that we cannot spend too much time dwelling on the past or we won't enjoy the present!
Really really great!

This is so very clever. I love it. We do spend double time reflecting on our past instead of making new memories.

Very well done and with the only rhyme in the contest.
Time passes so much more quickly as age creeps upon us, why do we spend it in our memories instead of creating new ones? Thanks for entering into the contest.
Be well and be blessed,
Mouser -
