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
