So long September clings to summer’s green
So soon does life deny that sacred dream
Too early do the summer sparrows fly
So soon a fleeting moment passes by

Some years were lived, some years were quickly lost
It’a love that always pays the bitter cost
Too soon the passing seasons turn to years
Too soon a rainbow always disappears

Too long it seems to take for life to start
Too long does love consume a  weeping heart
We can’t reclaim the love we once denied
Too soon a fleeting moment passes by

Liz...life and time...what would one be without the other?  Though time seems to be a robber, it is also a giver.  Love you and this poem and the thoughts it brought me.

Life is going by these days just far too quickly for me that is for sure.  Take care dear Lizzy.

We have to make the most of those fleeting moments that are gone too soon, and then relive them in our memories. This is lovely Elizabeth! It's so great to see you here again!

I so enjoy your poetry.

The years are really flying now, and your poem conveys the whole idea,  
how we look back and yea, it seems like yesterday.
