As Life Passes

*Author's Note: Today I decided to write another poem. This time I wanted to try something different, I wanted it to have a pattern. In this piece I have written about how time and life passes by so quickly. So tell me what you think!* 

As the seconds pass,

We look back to

The times of joy,

That our lives

Have held.

As the minutes pass,

We see what has

Broken our life,

And has shattered it

Into pieces.

As the hours pass,

We think of all

We have learned,

What we have

Remembered,

What we have

Forgotten.

As the days pass,

We wish for

The best of times,

For mistakes

To be erased.

As years pass,

We stay strong,

Try to stand up,

To continue

Our flight.

As our life passes,

We stand proud,

Thinking of the life

We have struggled,

Fought,

And won.

Today--Tomorrow

*Author’s Note: In this piece I have written in the point of view of someone that is part of the military, on the battle field. I have also played with the format, so let me know what you think. I would categorize this piece as a free verse poem. *

From one p                 t to another,

Our line of life will NEVER be perfectly s   t   r   a   i   g   h   t.

Time flies past us like a bullet in mid air.

Our lives are put in risk, for

Days,

Months,

Years.

From one GUNSHOT to the next,

our side W e a k e n s.

All of the hard work for my country,

One's life is so f r a g i l e, 

any time any place, 

it could be gone, 

FOREVER. 

For others life may START tomorrow, as for me, it ENDS today.
