Feet barely touching the ground
Time running in place flittering and fleeting
At this moment hardly a sound
Onto the next of life’s meetings
Settled into place
A flashing of a foreign decree
Surrounded by grace
Constantly I cannot see what’s ahead of me
Only in you myself is found
Connected and entwined as one
Forever we two are bound
Until my journey’s are done

Time slips by slowly
Never going as fast as we wish
Or slowly when we need it to
Time together is to short
Time apart drags on and on
Slowly the seconds tick by
Making the minutes move on
With the hours passing into the past
The days mixing into each other
With the months feeling like eternity
Until that day I come home
Into your loving arms
Where I will pass the rest of my time
Until my time runs out
But I will make every second of it count
Because with you is where I belong always

Within a moment in time
Feeling the miles that separate us
Fleeting pictures of you in my mind
Wishing for the time to go by
The thought of your touch
A dream of your kiss
Looking upon the face of my angel
Your voice calling out my name in passion
So many images run through my head
As I wrap myself on this cold winter night
Dreaming the dream that is my one true love
To be back in your arms
For the rest of our days
All these thoughts of you run through my soul
As I sit here under a blanket, soft and warm, with the faintest hint of her perfume
Swirling in my head.

Once a dashing young prince of a man
A smile that would make the ladies swoon
Covered from head to toe in a bronze tan
The stature of a legendary British Dragoon
Feats of bravery and daring heard near and far
Winning the ladies hearts across the land
Many looked upon him like a star
His good looks and hard body went hand in hand
But as always, the case
A foe beyond his strength did rise
His slow fall from grace
An enemy did take him by surprise
It was neither man nor beast
An adversary that was so sublime
A fight he put up at least
The prosecutor of his demise
Was an enemy without pause
An opposition working overtime
Made him a mirror image of who he once was
The enemy of his was non-other than father time.

Time slips by slow and lazy
Pleading for it to go faster
Leaving the days hazy
Somedays it is my master
A future that lies ahead
Wishing it was now here
But time slips by like the walking dead
Wanting the days to just disappear
A light so dims in the tunnel
But each day that passes
Brings us nearer as a couple
Still the days move like molasses
Near to my heart
Is where you will always be
You have been there since the start
Our future is bright I foresee
Soon the time will be counted away
Coming home to you
I shall forever stay
We shall embrace in a romantic rendezvous

A life full of promise
A life wasted away
Full of endless failures
Broken promises strewn along the way
Days and months and years away from home
Missing holidays, birthdays and so many special days
A heart breaks because I have gone a separate way
Chasing a chance that slowly slips away
Not thinking of the destruction I have left in my wake
Failure chases me day after day
Why do I keep going down these lonely trails
Reaching for something, to no avail
Thinking of the future
While throwing away the present
Leaving tears, and a broken heart of the one I love
When will I learn to be content
Instead of living a life barren of
What do you do when time stands still
Unsure of the steps that will take you forward
Not wanting to take any back
Caught in the middle of a wasteland
Anxiousness can be overbearing
Wanting to move ahead
Time however moves onward like molasses
Patience is a virtue they say
Wishing I could stay patient awaiting the next day
So Lord I wait upon your word
To send me unto the path designed by your hand for me

When do you realize it is time to settle
Taking your foot off the peddle
Deciding that it’s time to step back
When you are young you look forward to what comes next
Always pushing yourself to reach a higher level
Moving on from one opportunity to another
When is it time to realize those opportunities are dwindling
Time waits for no man they say
So when will I know that day
Taking that one last attempt
To continue a career that you love
So much says it is time to quit
Enjoy what you have done and stop doing it
Move onto the next stage of your life
Your body is full of aches and pains
Mind not as sharp, but still there most of the time
I am a soldier that is what I have known for over twenty-one years
Not done in my heart or in my head
A few good years left inside this old soul
Proving again to myself of my worth
What happens to old soldiers when it is time to go
As it was once said
Old soldiers never die, they just fade away

Time apart from you
Left for work saying adieu
Mind wanders around
Can make me feel down
The beep of my phone
Means a message from back home
Where you wait for me
The place I would rather be
Biding my time until I see you again
The waiting can drive me insane
Walking through the door
Arriving to your kisses and so much more
Until that time comes
I will sit here all glum
Until that time all my love I send to you.
Looking at you from across the room
The beauty of my flower in bloom
Time has passed since we first met
A look from you leaves me in a cold sweat
Unable to divert my eyes
A ravenous hunger arises
Moving to you I pull you close
Into my arms I propose
A time of wantonness desire
Rising in us a fire
Passion unabated we explore
Until we are spent with no more
Curled together we hold each other tight
Off we fall into a blissful night
A Soldier's Walk
