In the first stanza the persona is a child and we see him talking to the personification of 'time'. Whilst other boys wanted to get on with their life and experience things for themselves, the persona asks time to tell him what is going to happen in his life.
In the last stanza 'half life is over now' for the persona and he has realised that he hasn't proved anything by sitting back and watching others experience things.
