Time Passed

A long long time before now,
There is a boy.
Flipping through the pages of life,
As carefree as he could afford to,
As easily as he is supposed to.
The clock has been ticking continuously since,
And nothing could have stopped it.
The wind that blows, the rain that fell.
The sun that rose, the moon that shone.
The people that were friends, the people that still are.
The gossips that spread, the jokes shared.
The books read, the stories enjoyed.
The facts that were, the facts that are.
Time passed,
A boy he was and a boy he is.
Even though the world is changing,
Even though time is moving on,
Even though life is getting heavier,
A boy he was and a boy he is.
