Looking Back

When looking back over the many years With three quarters of a century’s worth Many years filled with joy, some filled with tears Always filled with hope, and a tinge of mirth. I have seen the advent of many things TV and cell phones from a satellite We walked on the moon, and saw Saturn’s rings Peered deep in our cells with a special light. Went to war, found peace, and then war again The internet robbed us of our privacy As people all over the world chimed in Not just with humor, but with lunacy! But in all these years one thing is the same We looked for love in our own special way From our family, pets, friends, or seeking fame Or writing poems when we’d something to say. I cannot believe that I’ve lived so long I’ve seen the world change, for better or worse I heard each moment as notes in a song Lived life as a book, both chapter and verse.
