PASSING ROYALTY
Young boy and old duffer
Looking on;
A shout...a cheer...
Where's time gone?
Young girl and old lady
Passing by;
A smile...a wave...
The blink of an eye.

How effective the two line layouts and the rhyme is (together with your two last lines) in widening this little thing into a larger observation on life itself.
And all based on an actual incident!
EXCELLENT.

Thanks Harry. The 60 years that marked the
Jubilee celebrations did seem to speak to me of
the passing of the years for the rest of us.
