Groceries

Early this morning I went to the store
with a list of groceries I should buy.
I went to get these things and nothing more;
I thought that surely the time would fly by.

I roamed up and down through the store aisles
I put each thing on my list in my cart.
After what felt like just a short while
I was so sure that my day could now start.

I looked at the clock it had been an hour!
How could this time have passed so quickly??
Alas! over time I have no power;
there was naught I could do, but let it be.

I have not lost so much by starting now
I suppose that sometimes it must be so.
