Slowly we are getting old,

And the time left for us is decreasing.

The list of regrets is only growing,

Along with the list of all the things we should have done.

Slowly we are getting old,

And the number of days we were given on the first day are now lower than ever.

The need for us to make the best of everything is at its highest as we are finally realising, we don't have much time left.

The clocks all around us are ticking,

And aren't giving us a single pause - or even a rewind to do things we never did.

Slowly we are getting old,

And the time left is no longer enough,

Instead of enjoying the last bit left - we are only looking back at the incompleted obstacles in our lives.

And all the tmes we should have but didn't risk.

Slowly we are getting old,

And we nearing the stage where we won't have much energy to do anything.

Realisation of the fact that time is of the essence is only kicking in now,

But sadly it is all to late, as the time for us to age, has arrived.
