I notice their passing,
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday,
But barely, for they speed by,
Each added year it’s faster I can’t deny,
Days are events beyond the sun,
Lost in a haze continually spun.
Monday, Tuesday, Weday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday,
I’d like to mark each spin with joy,
But that never was this boy,
So I watch the passing from my room,
Till traded for the peace of the tomb
I continue in poverty and pain,
I continue in a modest gain.
Monday, Tuesday, Weday, Thursday, day, Saturday, Sunday,
I proceed with clock and calendar,
Always the underdog challenger,
Barely noticing those around me
Content if just let be.
Monday, day, Weday, Thursday, day, Sunday,
And if I find things that I’ve forgot
I blame it all on the speeding clock,
When I cannot do things done before
I blame that creeping calendar
With the vanishing years
Forgotten tears
And vague memories of passing days,
Day, Day, Day, Day,

Nice writing Professor.Enjoyed reading your words again.

Yes, the passing of time and that which does not come to fruition does make for some dark days and sometimes even forgetting which day it is.
