Camille Barr reading her poem The day has passed me by (not to try) from her book Behind the facade.

In the years that have passed by

Time always seemed to be behind

At 15 I was too old to try

At 30 I was just old

Now the time really does go by

Without regard for what you do

Passing by lost opportunities

On a slideshow of what could have been

‘Walk don’t run’ your time is now

In the only present moment that matters

These are ‘The Good Old Days’,

Even when they’re not

This is the day that passed by without regret

Camille Barr
