Time Flies By
I wish I had more time
I wish I could take longer to grow up
I wish I cared more about being a kid when I was one
I wish I could go back
Back to betting on which rain drop will win across the window
Back to sliding down the stairs on a blanket
Back to racing barefoot through the yard
When a scraped knee was the greatest worry I had
I wish worries weren’t so heavy now
I never liked the idea of peaceful ignorance
And I don’t like ignorance now
But I wish I had that peace
That sounds pretty good to me
I wish I had longer before my friends were deployed
I wish I had longer before I leave too
I wish just for a moment that life would slow down
But as they say “time flies by”
I wish I had more time

I decided to join the military and I'm getting ready to leave which has gotten me to reminisce on the past with my family. I'm also looking forward to the future so I've drawn inspiration from both military and history.
