Time melts

The clock on the shelf marks time
and even as we watch it chimes.

I kiss your lips and then
time just melted again!

My children oh so small
are now full grown and tall!

Life passed me by and now
I'm old and grey.

Who will come and save me
from this crazy race I'm in?

Time flies and I, who thought I still had time,
didn't see it melt away.
