Where does time go?

I used to play in my sand box,

and now I play spades with my high school friends.

Where does time go?

I used to where pampers,

and now I put on underwear.



I used to have toys, now I have books.

I used to have a school bus waiting for me.

Now, I wait for the bus to pick me up

and I have to pay for the service.

Where does time go?

I used wear nametags. Now I wear jewelry.

I used to practice my ABC’s.

Now I practice taking the SAT’s.

I used to have everything given to me.

Now I have to work to earn what I need.

Where does time go?

I used to watch Barney on channel thirteen.

Now I watch MTV.

I used to shop at kids world.

Now, I shop at Hyperactive, Jimmy Jazz, London Boy,

and Macy’s on 34th street.

What has happen to me?

Oh, yeah I grew up.

Used to play in the sand box, spades with friends?

I don't play anymore. My mind plays with me. Forgetfulness, seeing things that aren't there, etc.

Used to wear Pampers, underwear?

I wear Depends.

Used to have a school bus waiting, then you have you wait and you pay?

I have Access-A-Ride. Don't pay. Sometimes they're good, other times suck.

Used to wear nametags, jewelry?

I wear a nametag. So I don't forget who I am.

Used to practice ABC's, for the SAT's?

I use an EMT, have a DNR notice next to my bed.

Used to be given everything, then had to work to earn it?

I'm retired. I have an aide that gives everything I ask of her. Helps me get out of bed in the morning, help me when I need to use bathroom, prepares my lunch, etc. You're the best Patricia!

Used to watch Channel 13 and MTV?

I watch PornHub. Since I can't actually do anything anymore, this is the next best thing.

Used to shop at kids world, etc..?

I shop through the AARP website.

What happened to you?

You grew up.

My friend, I don't know anything about you and what you've gone through in your life. For all I know, you may not be around anymore. I just want to tell you, in many respects, it doesn't get any easier as you get older. My mother

used to say 'They call it the Golden Years? Feels more like brass'. Take care.
