Lessons Through Time

Time’s a river, flows so deep,

Reflections of the past, in silence I weep.

If I could step back, oh what would I say?

A whisper in time, would you listen today?

I see the kid running, all dreams in his eyes,

Chasing the wind, under open skies.

But the road gets rocky, heart filled with doubt,

Wisdom was waiting, I tossed it about.

What if I told you, of moments you’d miss?

The battles you’d fight, the heart’s aching twist.

Would you heed my warning or shrug it away?

Drown in the shadows, or find a new day?

Oh, would you listen if I came from the light?

Echoes of choices in the dead of the night.

Would I be a teacher, or just a lost friend,

Trying to save you from the paths that won’t end?

I’d share the laughter, the tears from mistakes,

Brush off the worries, oh the chance that it takes.

Paint the pictures, of roads less traveled,

Would wisdom sink in, or would it just unravel?

What if I showed you, the dreams you've forsaken?

Would you hold them close or let them be shaken?

The answer is hidden in the depths of our mind,

A fragile connection that’s hard to rewind.

Oh, would you listen if I came from the light?

Echoes of choices in the dead of the night.

Would I be a teacher, or just a lost friend,

Trying to save you from the paths that won’t end?

Every scar tells a story, every bruise has a song,

Lessons lift heavy, but they make us strong.

Would you trace my footsteps, or wander your way?

Time is an artist, but we’re all the clay.

So here’s my reflection, as I look to the past,

Would you listen to wisdom, or let it slip fast?

In the echoes of time, I hope you find peace,

There’s power in knowing, and strength in release.
