Myself in Time - Original Poem

Time is flying past,
A blur is currently all I see.
Soon the time is going to just stop,
It will take the wind from inside of me.
Becoming someone new,
That is never something easy to do.
I guess it's a good thing then,
That it's not something I plan to do.
Finding myself inside of time,
It simply cannot be done
For if it was then wouldn't I be
Lost outside of time?

Past to Future - Original Poem

The past never changes
Us.
We can't change the
Past.
It's time to look to the
Future.
Just as the future looks back at
Us in the past.

Uncle Dave's Passing

A consuming shadow lurks overhead
Slowly it reaches down and strikes one dead
The living ones are left to mourn the loss of their friend,
A father to some and grandpa to others.
Too early had that shadow come,
Yet the pain was not so strong
We had all seen it coming for some time
Now we sit and mourn my dear Uncle Dave.
