Fleeting Moments

How quickly they pass,

The fleeting moments of life,

Of this beautiful precious life,

Like trees rushing past a fast train

How soon we become elderly!

How soon we reach the age of sixty!

How soon the children grow up!

How soon the nest becomes empty!

Before we realize, we become grandparents,

We enter the autumn of our lives,

We behold the sunset of our lives,

And get ready for the final good bye

Ah! The wonderful moments,

Ah! The beautiful memories,

Those memorable stories,

The precious experiences of our lives

This world is but a resting place,

And we are just travellers,

Thousands come and thousands go everyday,

And the fleeting moments go on forever!
