As I Watch...

As I watch this life go by,
I think that time moves too fast.
As I watch others grow up,
I cling to my childhood as much as I can.
As I watch other voice their problems,
I keep mine locked up.
As I watch things grow,
I desperately want time to stop.
As I think about the future,
it goes to the past.
as they watch me,
I see a child in their eyes.
I see what they see,
when they look at me.
They look away,
like they're embarassed,
with what they see.
My words to you
who see me as a child,
"You only go through
your childhood once.
so Use what time
you can and enjoy it."
As I watch
they leave
but i'll still be here
enjoying what I can.
