OLD AND NEW

OLD AND NEW I do like looking back to how it was If challenged I will answer, Just because Many memories keep that sort of glow And there is nothing wrong with old, you know I sense that things were different back then The appeal of staying out after ten Perhaps it was the innocence of youth But everything seemed safer, it’s the truth Now, the world we knew has gone forever A link that we always had to sever These days, it is complex and much faster With this digital stuff one must master But still, this day and age is exciting And the prospect of new things, inviting There is a sense of shame in feeling slow But there is nothing wrong with new, you know Old and new, not easy to reconcile But I keep an open mind, all the while
