Time flies
Gone are the days
when they would play hide and seek
under the glare of the sun
and under the opened floodgates of the heavens
when they would cling to she who bore them
when they would go searching for trouble where there was none to find
when they were fed by another, clothed by another bathed by another
it is true that time flies
They went from one foot to five
they grew in ways only they could
a growth not only seen with the eyes
but a growth also seen with the mind's eye
they were expected to go a mile
but they went ten
they superceeded all the imagination could kindle
it is true that time flies
