Day to Night, Night to Day

     I see the sun high above me and I feel the warmth on my skin. I see the trees in the distance and the grass beneath my feet. I think to myself, how wonderful is this day and may it never end. I feel myself clinging to the light of this day because it has been a very good day. Nothing went wrong and everything feels so right. I want time to stop so this day will not end.
    I feel a fear coming over me and something feels so wrong. I look above me and the sun is no longer high above my head, it is at a angle and starting to set in the sky. My worries are becoming stronger as the sun is setting. I begin to think, what will tomorrow bring? Today has been a good day but I cannot control time. What will be, will be. The day is becoming night and I cannot stop it.
     I see high above me the moon in the sky and I feel the chill of the night on my skin. I see the stars in the sky and the shadows over the land. Change is happening all around me without me doing a thing. Time is continuing on and I say to myself, "Please, let not tomorrow bring me sorrow but another good day." My mind cannot help but think of the many problems that may come my way. Tonight is peaceful but will that peace carry on to tomorrow, only time can tell.
     I see a light in the distance. Have I been standing here all night? A new day is coming and what will it bring? It's a worry, that can only be answered in time. I see the sun rising in the sky and I feel it's warmth taking away the chill of the night air. Tomorrow is here over any of my objections or approvals. Time waits for no one. I feel like it has it's hands on my back pushing me forward whether I like it or not. We are all move along together in time. Whatever happens, will happen and I will have to deal with it. I do wish I could make the good days last by slowing down time.
     Day to night, night to day a cycle that has continually happen throughout time. A cycle we have no control over. If I could stand in front of a mirror and watch myself age. I would see myself as a baby then watch myself grow to be an old man and there would be nothing that I could do about it. I think time is telling us do not fight against it but enjoy every minute that you have. Our time with each other is limited so do not waste any of it. Yes, I do want to stop or even slow down time on the good days that I have. I worry about what will be tomorrow. However I am only human and will have to deal with what time will bring.
