Changes in a blink of an eye

All day all night the clock can't miss a tick
All day all night the heart can't skip a beat
The earth rotates and spins, the moon orbits

Today after yesterday, tonight followed last night
Awake you must after a sleep so tight

A crying infant before now a restless tot
A teen then when you were just a lad
An adult dear, then a senior how quickly you'd become

The years ran a race as fast as it can
Time traveled to sunset's nest, now empty, gone...
