Gauging Time

  

By Walt Perryman

My morning thought about gauging time.
I'm sorry but the way I gauge, it must rhyme.


It seems to me; time passes faster with age.
This morning I will try to explain how I gauge,


When I was in school a day seemed like three.
NEXT, a day working seemed even more to me.


I retired and thought it would slow down more,
But instead, it’s passing faster than ever before.


Evidently, the less time I have, the faster it goes.
But does my time change, only God really knows.


If time passes faster means I’ll die sooner anyway,
Then God I will be thanking you faster by the day.


I know, my body and mind has slowed with age,
Folks, it’s God and not me, that works the gauge.
