On and on it goes
Never ceasing, never stopping
Until the curtains close
No matter how we plead with him
The Old Man never slows
And for even those that need him most
He gives no brief repose
Throughout our mornings
He plows along
Like a small child in the snow
Yet we see him as the pesky blizzard
Covering up the road.
The afternoon soon arrives
And we are wishing for the morning
Wishing for an intermission
Before we start the mourning
Our evenings now approach us
The grand scene draws ever near
We treasure every second
And gather loved ones near
In the final moments
Of our final scene
Time cruelly slips by ever quicker
Pulling at the curtains’ seams
Silence
The Clock was ever ticking
Always until now
Time’s stricken twelve, our role is up
And we take a final bow
As the curtain closes.
