A Race with Time
Photos displayed side by side
I see a man, that is the same but not
With a frame that has aged, time divides
The two that share recurring thoughts
As the lines have intensified
And the lessons have taught
The stares, they begin to confide
Over years, the battles fought
Wisdom, a race with time
Frequently far behind
Hardships create a leap forward
A vibrant soul
With a past rich and bold
Through loss and win
Some stories remain untold
Day and night
He approaches the rays of light
Memories lost in time
He rocks back and forth in his chair
Cherish images of yesteryears
The pictures to come, they are rare
Past and present bring my eyes to tears
The conflicts and nightmares
Do not reappear
They are senseless, since he is aware
He will cross a new frontier
Wisdom, a race with time
Frequently far behind
Hardships create a leap forward
A vibrant soul
With a past rich and bold
Through loss and win
Some stories remain untold
Day and night
He approaches the rays of light
Memories lost in time
As I feel estranged
From my tale
But my mind unchanged
I prevail
As the growth is seamless
And the time decreases
Wisdom, a race with time
Frequently far behind
Hardships create a leap forward
A vibrant soul
With a past rich and bold
Through loss and win
Some stories remain untold
Day and night
He approaches the rays of light
Memories lost in time
A life, a brief moment in time
I see a man, his time is near, he knows
He has lived an adventure sublime
Throughout the several high and lows
As he looks to the sky and life passes nearby
He is thankful his dreams came alive
I see a man, that is the same but not
With a frame that has aged, time divides
The two that share recurring thoughts
As the lines have intensified
And the lessons have taught
The stares, they begin to confide
Over years, the battles fought
Wisdom, a race with time
Frequently far behind
Hardships create a leap forward
A vibrant soul
With a past rich and bold
Through loss and win
Some stories remain untold
Day and night
He approaches the rays of light
Memories lost in time
He rocks back and forth in his chair
Cherish images of yesteryears
The pictures to come, they are rare
Past and present bring my eyes to tears
The conflicts and nightmares
Do not reappear
They are senseless, since he is aware
He will cross a new frontier
Wisdom, a race with time
Frequently far behind
Hardships create a leap forward
A vibrant soul
With a past rich and bold
Through loss and win
Some stories remain untold
Day and night
He approaches the rays of light
Memories lost in time
As I feel estranged
From my tale
But my mind unchanged
I prevail
As the growth is seamless
And the time decreases
Wisdom, a race with time
Frequently far behind
Hardships create a leap forward
A vibrant soul
With a past rich and bold
Through loss and win
Some stories remain untold
Day and night
He approaches the rays of light
Memories lost in time
A life, a brief moment in time
I see a man, his time is near, he knows
He has lived an adventure sublime
Throughout the several high and lows
As he looks to the sky and life passes nearby
He is thankful his dreams came alive
