Have you heard?
It was on the news —
Your child can read you like a bedtime story —
Like a magazine,
Like a has-been out to grass,
Like afternoon T.V. —
Why is my life going by so fast?

More from The Last Mimzy

Hello I love you,
Is there anybody in there? Life is long but it goes fast.
The kids will have to separate
Their future from our past. The ghosts are walking by my side.
I feel their love I feel their pride,
For I have built a bridge or two,
Bridges between me and you.
Hello I love you.
