In Time It Only Takes Two Decades

In time it only takes two decades for a babe to an adult to grow And the prime of life years last a decade till time on the body does show The Seasons seem to pass too quickly and too soon we grow old and gray Though some with cosmetics and hair dyes try to cloak the signs of time's decay Methuselah lived for nine centuries a myth that has often been told But in the real World we live in a century for one very old Us humans not unlike Nature's Seasons to life we come to and from go And from life we do receive the karma of the seeds we have chosen to sow It has been awhile since my prime years on looking back time seemed to fly The years tell on us sooner or later though our age we may try to deny The ego in us that does fear death without ego death we would not fear Having said that the ego keeps us living so some ego good for us or so 'twould appear So live for as long as you can live and though to the father of time we do bow Tomorrow will come in it's own time and we only can live in the now.
