Changing Times

It seems to me the worlds gone mad
Things now are good that once were bad
These shifting values make me sad

Society’s is out of hand
These changes I don’t understand
I feel I’m in a foreign land

I know that I am getting old
impatient, frail and feeling cold
Yet my values I will always hold

For they are what made me

Thank you Carol for your generous comment, I have been writing for many years but I have not posted until recently as I do not feel very confident in the quality of my verse as I am both very old and not well educated. However my efforts have recieved some pleasant comments which I find most encouraging, So thank you and best wishes Roy
