Run through youth and colored rings
On the wild ride
Check the clock for the next best thing
Impatient for the tide
Still time
Still time.
Tread the ivy halls a little slower than the crowd
Sweat bullets, study more that I should
Speak up and out and loud
Trade hoodie for cap, gown and hood
Untangled heart’s elusive way
Her hair golden in the setting of the sun
I waited life’s whole day
to find this hoped-for, unexpected one
There’s
Still time
Still time.
Walking down the aisle
Mother of the bride
Bequeathing all to this bright child
My love, my joy, my pride
Sweet scent of newborn baby
Circle swings around
My daughter’s child, not mine, but maybe
What was lost can now be found
Days and months and years spin madly
A few more rides around the block
Walking slower, dancing badly
Oh, that I could reset this clock
Wish that I could
Still time,
Still time
