Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
Having gone through a mid-life “reset” and having to say goodbye to nearly everyone and everything I knew for the first several decades was not an experience I would want to repeat, or even think back to most days.
But even through the worst moments of those years where I had to do some of the very hardest things that anyone would ever have to do, I chanted to myself under my breath “this too shall pass.”
And it did. It slowly, agonizingly, got better. It all passes. And eventually you will look around and realize it passed too fast.
