Time is my least favorite thing of all
Especially when it gives my loved ones a call
Looking at fond memories makes me feel blue
Seeing but not touching; I can’t break through
Mocked by Time as I can’t go back
It forces me forward on my life’s track
Always giving me friend after friend
Only to take them all from me in the end
They go away and I stick around
Wondering why it’s not my body being put in the ground
So many regrets from how certain things went
Chances I wasted and Time poorly spent
I can’t change a thing no matter how hard I try
All I can do is watch my past and cry
Can’t even go back for a visit to show
Those dear to me how I still love them so
I’d love to visit my grandfather one more time
To see Sawyer while still in his prime
Only in dreams can I return to the past
For reunions and visits that don’t ever last
This will only continue in life as I age
Losing loved ones fills me with sadness and rage
Cruelest of all has got to be
The difference in lifespans of Sawyer and me
I’m still young at nearly thirty years old
Yet Sawyer a senior dog at less than half my age, so I’m told
He died in old age and went away from me
Now I have to live my whole life without my best buddy
Even if we’re reunited forever someday
I still have a long life to live before we get to play
How can anyone find this all right?
Or sleep soundly while this weighs on them each night?
I don’t have the answers; all I can do is my best
To live a good life before it’s my turn to rest
